This new edition builds on the work of the previous edition and incorporates feedback from teachers in Canada, the USA, and around the world. Changes include new focuses on critical thinking and accuracy, as well as new listenings and videos in each chapter. Updated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics include economics, secret codes, and statistics. A Critical Connections task at the end of each chapter allows students to build on what they have learned and apply it to new ideas. Traditional English programs don't always develop students' thinking and language skills that are so necessary for college and university. LEAP 3's cross-curricular approach focuses on developing critical thinking skills, while giving students opportunities to explore content from a range of subject areas; [...] In an ever-changing world, students need critical thinking and interaction skills. They need to know how to engage in active listening, understand the subtexts of the messages they hear, and fashion their own spoken responses using informative, compelling, and persuasive language in formal and informal settings. LEAP 3: Listening and Speaking helps students meet these and other challenges.” (Introduction, p. iii); Chapter 1 ENGINEERING LIFE ; Subject Areas: education, engineering, robotics ; Listening: Listen to infer attitudes, emotions, and intentions;
