This handout is an attempt to provide students of English Language I with language learning and practice material for Unit 3: Money and Shopping. It contains a great variety of speaking, reading, listening and writing activities that will help students practise the four skills in an integrated way when they deal with the main subtopics related to the unit. The handout is divided into ten main sections: Money, Money Attitudes, Credit Cards, Having a Lot of/Little Money, Shopping, Types of Shops, Corner Shops/Supermarkets, Shopping Centres/Department Stores, Shopaholism and Shopping Online, so that students can learn about different aspects of money and shopping in an organised way. Each section begins with a list of the main learning objectives and its subsections. Explicit teaching of key learning strategies is included so that students learn how to control and improve their own learning. Phrasal verb and sentence transformation activities are also included throughout the handout to offer students further practice with the verbs and structures learned in their textbook Upstream B2 (2008). At the end of each section, students will find a list of the main online resources of the VLE that will help them further practise the topics and a checklist that will help students revise and check their progress. We hope that this handout can help students learn the subtopics of the unit in an enjoyable way.
