Synopsis

University Success provides a package of assessments that can be used as precourse diagnostics, midcourse assessments, and final summative assessments. The flexible nature of these assessments allows teachers to choose which assessments will be most appropriate at various stages of the program. These assessments are embedded in the student book and are available online in MyEnglishLab.

Each book in the series is supported with:

• Comprehensive downloadable teaching notes in MyEnglishLab that detail key points for all of the specialised, academic content. In order to meet the challenge of working with topics that are unfamiliar to teachers, the Teacher Resource Folder includes specific notes to help teachers understand the key points, history, and culturally important references in the content, allowing them to easily elaborate on content in the classroom. Additionally, tips and suggestions for how to teach skills and strategies are included.
• An easy-to-use online learning management system offering a flexible gradebook and tools for monitoring student progress
• Essential tools, such as audio and video scripts and word lists, to help in lesson planning and follow-up.

Of the 5 levels available, this book is Intermediate to High-Intermediate Level GSE 43 - 58 (B1 to B1+)

Authentic content with careful integration of essential skills, the Intermediate to High-Intermediate level familiarises students with real-world academic contexts.

About this title

From the Back Cover

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. MyEnglishLab
