Introduction
To the student
This book will help you learn around 1, 250 new words and phrases. You can use the book
yourself, without a teacher. You can do the units in any order you like. If you have the edition with
the ebook, you can listen to the pronunciation of all the new vocabulary, and highlight text. see
page 171 for more information about the ebook.
Here is what the pages look like:
The left-hand page presents
the new vocabulary.

The left-hand page is
divided into sections.

Common mistakes and
learning tips are also given
on the left-hand page.
The right-hand page
practises the new
vocabulary.

Pictures, tables and
diagrams give variety to
the exercises.

Diagrams and pictures
show the meaning.

Example sentences show
the words in context.
Mini-dialogues show how
people use the words in
real situations.

A lot of diff erent exercise
types are used: gap-fills,
answering questions,
matching, etc.

Over to you tasks give you
a chance to do more work
on the topic of the unit.

The Answer key at the end of the book is for you to check your answers to the exercises aft er you
do them. The Answer key sometimes has more than one answer. This is because there is oft en
not just one correct way of saying something. The Answer key also has possible answers for most
of the exercises which are open-ended, or where you are asked to talk about yourself.
The Index at the end of the book has all the important words and phrases from the left-hand
pages. The Index also tells you how to pronounce words. There is a list of phonemic symbols to
help you understand the pronunciation on page 158.
It is a good idea to have a dictionary with you when you use the book so you can check the
meaning of something, or translate a word into your own language. sometimes, you will also
need a dictionary for the exercises; we tell you when this is so. You also need a vocabulary
notebook to write down new words. see page 170 for ideas on how to learn and remember
these new words.
We hope you like this book. When you have finished all the units in this book, you can go to the next
bookintheseries, EnglishVocabularyinUse:Pre-intermediateandIntermediate, andafterthat,tothe
higher levels, English Vocabulary in Use: Upper-intermediate and English Vocabulary in Use: Advanced.

English Vocabulary in Use Elementary

To the teacher
This book can be used in class or as a self-study book. It is intended for learners at A1–A2 levels
of the Council of Europe scale. It aims to take learners with a very basic level of vocabulary to
a point where they can use approximately 2,000 words and phrases and teaches them around
1, 250 new words and phrases. The vocabulary has been chosen for its usefulness in everyday
situations, and we consulted a written and spoken corpus of present-day English to help us
decide on the words and phrases to be included. The new vocabulary (on average 20–30 items
per unit) is presented with photos or illustrations and explanations on the left-hand page, and
there are exercises and activities on the right-hand page. There is an Answer key and an Index
with pronunciation for all the key vocabulary.
The book focuses not just on single words, but also on useful phrases and collocations. For
example, difficult teaching points such as the difference between do and make are dealt
with through collocation (we do our homework, but we make mistakes), and useful phrases
(e.g. come along) are presented.
The book is organised around everyday topics, but also has units devoted to core verbs such
as get and bring / take. Typical errors are indicated where appropriate, and the most typical
meanings and uses are focused on for each key item. The units in the book can be used in any
order you like, but it is often a good idea to do blocks of units based round the same topic
(e.g. People, At home, Leisure).
The right-hand pages offer a variety of different types of activities, including traditional ones such
asgap-filling,butalsomoreopen-endedonesandpersonalisedactivitieswhichenablelearnersto
talkabouttheirownlives.Althoughtheactivitiesandexercisesaredesignedforself-study,theycan
easilybeadaptedforpairwork,groupworkorwhole-classactivitiesintheusualways.Forexample,
where there are dialogues, students can take the speaking parts and practise the conversations,
and where the exercises have questions and answers, students can practise asking each other
the questions and answering them. See who has the best ideas for recording vocabulary in their
notebook. The Answer key sometimes gives alternative answers to the exercises, and also gives
possible model answers for the more personalised ones.
When the learners have worked through a group of units, it is a good idea to repeat some of
the work (for example, the exercises) and to expand on the meaning and use of key words and
phrases by extra discussion in class, and find other examples of the key items in other texts and
situations. This can be done at intervals of one to three months after first working on a unit. This
is important, since it is usually the case that learners need five to seven exposures to a word or
phrase before they can really know it, and no single book can do enough to ensure that words
are always learnt first time.
When your students have finished and reviewed all the units in this book, they can move on to
the next book in this series: English Vocabulary in Use: Pre-intermediate and Intermediate, by
Stuart Redman.
Find more resources for teachers at www.cambridge.org
We hope you enjoy using the book.
