Features:
Includes new and updated material, including expanded vocabulary, extension, and post-lecture activities to encourage students to discuss, research, and write about ideas raised in the lectures.
Teaches students how to recognize lecture organization, and how to evaluate and predict information.
Focuses on the acquisition of vocabulary, especially from the Academic Word List, and on the recognition of language cues.
Prepares students for academic testing with TOEFL-style test questions throughout the text.
