Welcome to è il nuovo corso di inglese tecnico settoriale rivolto agli Istituti Professionali indirizzo “Servizi per l’enogastronomia e l’ospitalità alberghiera”, articolazioni Enogastronomia e Servizi di sala e vendita. In queste pagine troverai alcune informazioni per imparare a usare il tuo libro di testo. Il volume si articola in 8 moduli dal contenuto tecnico e settoriale e 5 dossier di civiltà, organizzati in questo modo: Catering in theory • Ogni modulo si suddivide in diversi capitoli in cui vengono presentati testi teorici che affrontano i temi tecnici e settoriali e articoli autentici di approfondimento. Per ognuno dei testi sono previste attività basate sulle skills. • Un’apposita icona segnala inoltre le attività di preparazione alle certificazioni Cambridge (PET e FCE) con un approccio graduale. • A conclusione di ogni percorso tematico è prevista un’attività di Exam practice, per preparare gli studenti all’Esame di Stato.
Culinary culture La ricca sezione di civiltà di Excellent! rappresenta una novità importante che offre un confronto culturale tra la realtà britannica e quella statunitense (UK vs US). I cinque dossier esplorano tradizioni, usanze e specialità culinarie attraverso percorsi geografici, storici, sociali, multimediali e istituzionali.
La sezione A taste of language si divide in due parti. • Vocabulary dove gli studenti potranno sviluppare e consolidare il lessico specifico e tecnico già incontrato all’interno del modulo, così da ampliare gradualmente la quantità di termini pertinenti alla microlingua settoriale del loro corso di studi e rafforzare la capacità di usarli attivamente nel contesto adeguato. I box linguistici offrono spunti di riflessione su alcune caratteristiche della lingua inglese (es. uso dei suffissi). • Grammar dove vengono brevemente presentate ed esercitate diverse strutture grammaticali con un approccio graduale e di contestualizzazione in cui gli studenti troveranno esempi che riprendono il lessico e le strutture incontrati nel corso del modulo in questione. La pagina di grammatica si chiude sempre con un esercizio di traduzione dall’inglese verso l’italiano nei primi moduli e dall’italiano verso l’inglese negli ultimi. Puoi scaricare gratuitamente dal sito www.elionline.com i seguenti materiali: materiale didattico supplementare | tutti gli audio in formato MP3 | FLIP BOOK

La sezione Turn up the heat! (Going Deeper nei cinque dossier), guida gli studenti allo sviluppo delle abilità linguistiche. Presente alla fine di ogni modulo, offre un approfondimento di uno dei temi trattati.
Una delle principali novità di Excellent! è la pagina Move to the net che chiude ogni modulo. Qui lo studente troverà un’ampia selezione di materiale multimediale autentico e attuale. La pagina si articola in quattro parti: • il Log in! presenta un’attività di warm up che introduce l’argomento proposto nel video; • Passwords elenca le parole di più difficile comprensione presenti nel video ed è accompagnato da un esercizio che mira a consolidarne la memorizzazione; • On the net! presenta il video ed è seguito da attività di comprensione. Tutti i video di questa sezione sono inseriti nel FLIP BOOK; • il Log out! presenta esercizi di personalizzazione sul tema trattato.
Box Sono presenti due diverse tipologie di box: • il box asterisco (*) che rimanda a un termine oppure a un’espressione trovata nel testo e può spiegarne il significato, le peculiarità linguistiche, l’etimologia, ecc.; • il box More about… con brevi approfondimenti o curiosità su uno dei temi presentati nel testo principale.
Altra novità assoluta del corso Excellent! è la sezione Move to movies dedicata all’analisi di film contemporanei a partire da uno dei temi trattati nel testo. Si propone un lavoro graduale e completo di ricezione e produzione linguistica. Le clip analizzate si possono vedere sul FLIP BOOK.
I cinque dossier di civiltà si chiudono con la sezione Cooking CLIL in cui viene presentato un percorso interdisciplinare che si ricollega a materie curricolari ed extra-curricolari. La pagina include inoltre la sezione Move to the net in cui viene presentato un video sul tema trattato, seguito da un’attività di comprensione.
Excellent! si chiude con un Word Bank in cui gli studenti troveranno termini specifici suddivisi per area tematica. Il glossario è illustrato e viene completato da tre Conversion Charts.
Il FLIP BOOK contiene la versione digitale dell’intero libro di testo. Per migliorare la visibilità e focalizzare l’attenzione su un singolo elemento, si possono ingrandire i singoli esercizi, ascoltare i brani registrati e svolgere attività interattive.
Il Flip Book è un supporto didattico ricchissimo di risorse e strumenti da utilizzare con la lavagna interattiva (LIM) per coinvolgere gli studenti e rendere la lezione più interessante ed efficace, ma può essere utilizzato anche a casa dallo studente in modo autonomo e semplice. Contiene l’intero volume in formato multimediale e raccoglie tutte le risorse del corso in un unico ambiente: tutto il materiale audio, i video delle sezioni Move to the net e le clip dei film inseriti nella sezione Move to movies. Tutti i siti indicati come spunti di approfondimento sono attivati.
Il Flip Book è stato studiato e preparato nella doppia versione per l’insegnante e per lo studente. Le versioni differiscono nell’attivazione di funzioni specifiche utili alla preparazione delle lezioni per l’insegnante (possibilità di inserire note, allegati, link ipertestuali). La versione studente, senza le soluzioni, ha la funzione ‘Salvataggio degli esercizi’, che una volta salvati non sono più modificabili, ma solo verificabili con l’apposito tasto ‘Verifica’ che mostra le risposte esatte e quelle sbagliate. La versione insegnante del Flip Book contiene le soluzioni complete di tutti gli esercizi e un codice di sblocco che consente di eseguirli nuovamente.
La palette, ricchissima di strumenti come zoom, tools grafici, funzioni di stampa, esportazione e importazione di note, allegati e segnalibri, rimanda anche alla pagina Risorse, che permette di accedere ai file audio e video e alle risorse extra online.
Il Flip Book contiene inoltre le funzioni ‘Spotlight’ e ‘Tendina’, che permettono di oscurare parzialmente la pagina, lasciandone visibile soltanto la porzione su cui si intende focalizzare l’attenzione.
Il Flip Book è dotato al suo interno di una Guida all’uso per scoprire le risorse e gli strumenti a disposizione.

A a place for travellers, young or homeless people to stay. B businesses that provide food, drink, accommodation or entertainment. C what you get when you stay in hospital.
Activities

accommodation The hospitality industry Hospitality is a word used in travel and tourism to describe the services a customer receives from an organisation or company such as catering, entertainment, accommodation, transport and other related tourist services. Businesses offering hospitality include restaurants, pubs, bars, clubs, hotels as well as sports and leisure facilities. Hospitality is a growing industry with hundreds of millions of people making use of it each year. Two of the principal service areas of this industry are catering and accommodation. We generally think of catering as organising food and drink services for social events or gatherings, but catering is also part of our everyday lives at school, at work, in hospitals and even when we travel. By accommodation we usually mean the choice of where to stay when we are on holiday, but we also choose accommodation when we visit a place for work or for study and when we are travelling, for example on a ship or on a train.

Independent tourists are people who want to make their own travel plans and are happy to find leisure and catering facilities without help. Young tourists of this kind tend to stay in hostels, because they are a cheap and easy way to make friends and explore a new place. Mature independent tourists, including families, often book an apartment or a villa so that they are free to do what they want when they want. A second category of tourists are semi-independent. These are people who like to find some catering and leisure facilities nearby, but are also keen to have freedom of choice. Staying in caravans, tents or camper vans on campsites is a cheap and convenient option as there are often catering and leisure activities on site. Mountain or beach chalets are a good choice for people looking for high quality entertainment and leisure facilities. Alternatively a B&B (Bed and Breakfast) guarantees a meal every morning and often has bar and snack services, but there are not usually any other services. Hotels are ideal for people interested in organised travel with a variety of catering and leisure facilities available. Cabins on cruise ships also provide all-inclusive packages, but tend to be expensive. Guesthouses are small hotels which offer a low-cost and friendly option as they are usually run by families and are often in old farm or country houses. A

When you book a room at a hotel you choose between: bed and breakfast, when you have a room for the night and a meal the next morning; half board, when you get breakfast and dinner; full board when you eat all your meals at the hotel. In addition to this, most hotels, guest houses and B&Bs provide a TV, a desk and a hospitality tray in your room, which has things to make hot drinks. They also offer a housekeeping service, so staff clean your room and en suite bathroom and change your bedding and towels every day. Most luxury hotels also offer a complimentary wi-fi internet service, satellite TV, a hairdryer, an iron, toiletries, a safe in your room and early morning wake-up calls. At an extra cost, you can consume soft drinks and alcoholic beverages from the room’s minibar, order room service from reception, as well as making use of services such as laundry, valet parking and tourist services.
