<br/><br/>"University Success, Beginning is a two-strand academic skills course designed for English language learners preparing for a university setting. High-interest, engaging content - with scaffolded language and critical thinking tasks - helps students develop skills to manage the rigor and challenges of higher-level texts and beyond. University Success Listening and Speaking, Beginning builds the foundation through presentation and reinforcement of skills that include understanding gist, listening for reasons, stating opinions, and asking for clarification. This solid grounding in basic skills supports the path to learner autonomy. FEATURES:<br/>  Learning objectives, informed by the Global Scale of English, focus on language and critical thinking skills.<br/>  High-interest, academic content in a variety of genres, linked to STEAM disciplines, and aligned across the two integrated strands, gives students an academic perspective.<br/><br/>  A carefully scaffolded approach, following Bloom's Taxonomy as a framework, enables students to build their linguistic foundation.<br/>  Dedicated grammar presentations provide scaffolding for speaking tasks.<br/>  Explicit vocabulary instruction gives students strategies to expand their vocabulary.<br/>  Soft skills - including strategies for academic success, life skills, and career readiness - prepare students to cope with the challenges of academic study and university culture."
