In this series, students build language and life skills, develop critical thinking skills, and increase cultural awareness. Then they apply these new skills to address issues that are important to them at home, at school, at work, and in the community.
Students develop and apply language and critical thinking skills while addressing issues of finance, education, health care, employment, legal rights, and civil responsibility
Theme-based units keep students motivated as they examine issues in the context of their roles at home, work, school, and in the community
Issues are introduced and explored through reading, listening, and graphic prompts based on real-world experiences
Lesson tasks and unit projects encourage students to use new language, content knowledge, cultural information, and critical thinking skills to take action
Vocabulary and grammar are introduced in the context of discussions of issues so students see the immediate importance and usefulness of language
Note: Listening scripts for lessons are available at the back of the Student Book.
