TO THE TEACHER
This enhanced edition of Side by Side Activity Workbook 1 provides all-skills activities, lifeskills lessons,
and achievement tests to reinforce, expand, and assess the learning objectives in the Side by Side 1 and
Side by Side Plus 1 Student Books. It includes two audio CDs and an answer key, providing students with
the resources they need to extend their language learning through self-study outside the classroom. The
audio CDs contain all workbook listening activities and GrammarRaps and GrammarSongs that motivate
learners and promote language mastery through entertaining practice with rhythm, stress, intonation, and
music.
The achievement tests in the second section of the workbook (pages T1T58) provide intensified
coverage of lifeskill competencies, assess student progress, and prepare students for the types of
standardized tests and performance assessments used by many instructional programs. The tests include:
multiple-choice questions that assess vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening skills; short-answer
questions that cover lifeskill competencies and basic literacy tasks (such as reading medicine labels and
filling out forms); writing assessments that can be evaluated using a standardized scoring rubric and
collected in portfolios of students work; and speaking performance assessments designed to stimulate face-
to-face interactions between students, for evaluation by the teacher using a standardized scoring rubric, or
for self-evaluation by students. Test pages are perforated so that completed tests can be handed in and can
serve as a record of students participation and progress in the instructional program.
Listening scripts and answer keys for the tests are provided in Side by Side Plus Teachers Guide 1. Test
preparation strategies, scoring rubrics, and resources for documenting students progress are provided in
Side by Side Plus Multilevel Activity & Achievement Test Book 1 and its accompanying CD-ROM.
