This handbook is an attempt to provide students of English Language I with language learning and practice material for Unit 1: Technology and Telecommunications. 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. Many of these activities have been revised or changed based on our class experience and the teachers? and students? comments.The handbook is divided into 10 main sections: Technology and Telecommunications, Computers, The Internet, E-business, Teleworking, Distance Learning, E-mail, Social Networks and Online Dating, Mobile Phones, and Surveillance and Cyber Crimes so that students can learn about different aspects of technology in an organised way. Each section begins with a list of the main learning objectives and subsections. Learning strategies are included so that students learn how to control and improve their own learning. Grammar in Use activities are also included throughout the handbook to offer students further practice in the structures learned in class. At the end of each section, students will find reference to the online resources of the virtual classroom (VLE) that will help them further practise the topics and a checklist that will help them revise and check their progress. We hope that this handbook can help students learn the topic of the unit and English in an enjoyable way.
