CLOSING THE SKILLS GAP

University Success is an academic course designed for English language learners preparing for mainstream academic environments. Authentic content is woven through reading, writing, and oral communication strands. The course–level by level–carefully scaffolds skill development to help students become autonomous learners, thereby closing the skills gap. University Success Reading, Intermediate to High-Intermediate Level provides intensive skill development and expanded application–tied to specific learning outcomes–that prepare students to become fluent, automatic, and competent readers. Explicit vocabulary instruction and extensive use of graphic organizers move students

closer to academic autonomy. Authentic readings written by top professors from Stanford University provide real-life learning experiences.

FEATURES

Parts 1 and 2 feature accessible, yet challenging, readings that allow students to engage with the content as they build essential reading and critical-thinking skills. Topics are aligned around five main subject areas: Bioethics, Business and Design, Zoology, History, and Chemical Engineering.

Part 3 includes authentic readings, authored by the professors and built around the same five disciplines, that offer the practice and broader exposure to academic English that students at this level need to succeed. Integration of the Student Book and MyEnglishLab provides a blended approach for a flexible program that adjusts to the needs of students and teachers.
