Abstract

Pathways, is a global, five-level academic English program. Carefully-guided lessons develop the language skills, critical thinking, and learning strategies required for academic success. Using authentic and relevant content from National Geographic, including video, charts, and other infographics, Pathways prepares students to work effectively and confidently in an academic environment. Explicit instruction and practice of note-taking, listening, speaking, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation develop language proficiency and build academic skills. Slide shows of lectures and presentations enhance listening activities and develop presentation skills. Exam-style tasks prepare students for a range of international exams, including TOEFL and IELTS.
