Abstract

Pathways is Heinle's new four-level academic skills series that features reading & writing and listening & speaking strands to help learners develop the language and skills needed to achieve academic success. Learners develop academic literacy skills through content, images and video from National Geographic Digital Media.

Pathways 2 – listening and speaking and Critical Thingking: A clear pathway from formal presentations to student-to-student interactions helps students become active, informed listeners in lectures and conversations. Presentation skills, including organization, preparation, and delivery techniques, are introduced and practiced in every unit, sharpening learners’ ability to interact in different academic settings.
