Synopsis

Life is a six-level, best-selling integrated-skills series with grammar and vocabulary for young adult and adult English language learners. Known for teaching students something new about the world through inspiring National Geographic content, the third edition showcases global perspectives and contexts relevant to students’ own lives that guide them to naturally personalize the language. Life continues to help learners connect with the world through its deeply integrated critical thinking strand, which now extends to developing the visual literacy, collaboration, and problem-solving skills they need for academic and career success.
