Perspectives is a four-skills series that teaches learners to think critically and to develop the language skills they need to find their own voice in English. The carefully-guided language lessons, real-world stories, and TED Talks motivate learners to think creatively and communicate effectively.
In Perspectives, learners develop an open mind, a critical eye and a clear voice in English.
• Every unit explores one idea from different perspectives, giving learners opportunities for practicing language as they look at the world in new ways.
• Students learn the critical thinking skills and strategies they need to evaluate new information and develop their own opinions and ideas.
• Students respond to the unit theme and express their own ideas confidently in English.
• Exam-style task types and test-taking strategies prepare students for a range of international exams.
