Study Skills Success is <strong>for</strong> students in<br />
their final years at school and first year<br />
in higher education. It provides<br />
comprehensive coverage of skills and<br />
resources that will enable learners to<br />
approach their academic studies effectively<br />
and with confidence.<br />
The new version, published in 2011,<br />
has been comprehensively enhanced<br />
and extended based on feedback from<br />
the hundreds of schools and universities<br />
already using Study Skills<br />
Success. It includes a focus on key<br />
skills highlighted by lecturers as being<br />
a particular problem:<br />
• developing critical thinking<br />
• participating in seminars and<br />
giving presentations<br />
• learning to learn independently<br />
Each unit begins with a video introduction<br />
where a teacher explains a<br />
challenge learners will face. (For<br />
example, in the Reading unit: "No<br />
matter what subject you study, you’ll<br />
have a mountain of books and articles<br />
to read...".) The video also shows<br />
students giving their own views based<br />
on their experiences. The unit then<br />
takes learners through a series of<br />
<strong>teaching</strong> points and interactive activities,<br />
helping them to develop the skills<br />
and strategies they need to meet this<br />
challenge.<br />
There is extensive use of authentic<br />
texts: articles, websites, book extracts,<br />
a BBC lecture... In addition, learners<br />
can download worksheets <strong>for</strong> use<br />
away from the computer.<br />
Study Skills Success is ideal as a self<br />
access resource or as integrated classwork<br />
or homework components of a<br />
taught course, where it can (optionally)<br />
be delivered through Blackboard,<br />
Moodle or other VLEs.<br />
Used pre-departure or post-arrival,<br />
Study Skills Success will help your<br />
students prepare to study successfully<br />
in <strong>English</strong>.<br />
