Book Title: Intermediate Khmer

Author: Vathanak Sok

Book Description: This online textbook is developed from my firsthand experience teaching and designing Khmer language courses at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Language Centre in London. The book has nine chapters covering listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar, with interactive activities using H5P for prompt feedback. Each chapter offers a chapter summary that includes a list of functional expressions and a grammar summary and a practice section offers exercises and activities for students to continue practicing the target language or the chapter's topic. This online interactive theme-based textbook is designed for students at an intermediate level. Upon completion of this course, students will achieve a B2 level on the Common Framework for Language and a mid-intermediate level on the ACFTL proficiency scales.

Book Information

Book Description

The book comprises a total of nine chapters. Every chapter is equipped with explicit learning objectives, grammatical concepts, and cultural annotations. Additionally, every chapter includes dedicated sections for listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar, which are then followed by interactive activities. Cultural insights and a selection of online resources pertaining to the chapter’s theme are presented. At the conclusion of each chapter, there is a chapter summary that includes a list of functional expressions and a grammar summary. Additionally, there is a further practice section that offers exercises and activities for students to continue practicing the target language or the chapter’s topic.
Each chapter is structured to include three modes of communication (interpretative, interpersonal, and presentation mode) for each of the four skills, or three stages of teaching reading/listening: pre-reading, reading, and post-reading. The acquisition of vocabulary in reading and listening occurs through engaging in conversations that include English translations, allowing learners to deduce the meaning within the provided context. H5P has been utilised to create learning activities that provide learners with prompt and constructive feedback.
