_tBloom's Taxonomy: Blue activity headings integrate verbs from Bloom's Taxonomy to help you see how each activity develops critical thinking skills.
_tAnalysis: You can discuss your opinion of each listening text and analyze how it changes your perspective on the unit question.
505 _aThree types of Video:
_tUnit Video: The unit videos include high-interest documentaries and reports on a wide variety of subjects, all linked to the unit topic and question. "Work with Video" pages guide you in watching, understanding, and discussing the unit videos. The activities help you see the connection to the Unit Question and the other texts in the unit. In some units, one of the main listening texts is a video.
_tCritical Thinking Video: Narrated by the Q series authors, these short videos give you further instruction on the Critical Thinking Strategy of each unit using engaging images and graphics. You can use them to gain a deeper understanding of the Critical Thinking Strategy.
_tSkills Video: These instructional videos provide illustrated explanations of skills and grammar points in the Student Book. They can be viewed in class or assigned for a flipped classroom, for homework, or for review. One skill video is available for every unit.
505 _aVocabulary: A research-based vocabulary program focuses on the words you need to know academically and professionally. The vocabulary syllabus in Q: Skills for Success is correlated to the CEFR and linked to two word lists: the Oxford 5000 and the OPAL (Oxford Phrasal Academic Lexicon)
_tThe Oxford 5000 is an expanded core word list for advanced learners of English. As well as the Oxford 3000 core list, the Oxford 5000 includes an additional 2,000 words, guiding learners at B2-C1 level on the most useful, high-level words to learn.
_tThe OPAL is a collection of four word lists that provide an essential guide to the most important words and phrases to know for academic English. The word lists are based on the Oxford Corpus of Academic English and the British Academic Spoken English corpus. The OPAL includes both spoken and written academic English and both individual words and longer phrases. Academic Language tips in the Student Book give information about how words and phrases from the OPAL are used and offer help with features such as collocations and phrases.
505 _aExtensive Reading is a program of reading for pleasure at a level that matches your language ability. There are many benefits to Extensive Reading:
_tIt helps you to become a better reader in general; it helps to increase your reading speed; it can improve your reading comprehension; it increases your vocabulary range; it can help you improve your grammar and writing skills; it's great for motivation to read something that is interesting for its own sake.
505 _aEach unit if Q: Skills for Success Third Edition has been aligned to an Oxford Graded Reader based on the appropriate topic and level of language proficiency. The first chapter of each recommended graded reader can be downloaded from IQ Online Resources." (Introduction, pp. iv-vii)
