A three-level (B1+ to C1) integrated skills course for higher education
students at university or on foundation courses. The B1+ Intermediate
Student's Book introduces students to the characteristics of written and
spoken academic texts. Students are guided towards developing relevant
strategies for setting study goals and approaching these texts. From
asking for help, understanding essay questions to planning essay
paragraphs and listening for gist and detail, students have a wealth of
opportunities to practice all core academic skills. The course develops
independent learning skills and critical thinking through 'Study Tips'
sections and allows for personalisation of learning in the 'Focus on
your subject' sections. Five lecture skills units provide authentic
practice in listening to lectures and note-taking.
