At the start of any new level of a course, establishing a good classroom atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable is important from the very beginning. It is also important to gauge students’ ability to use the main tenses in English. At Upper-Intermediate level, students need to be able to express themselves in a more natural way, using a wider range of adverbs and adverbial phrases. This Test your grammar covers the main tenses students will be familiar with, but also gives students the opportunity to get talking and find out about each other. This initial stage and the rest of the unit will also allow you to assess the students’ strengths and weaknesses, and their overall levels of fluency.
