Prepare for university success

University Success is for English language learners preparing for academic environments. The course carefully scaffolds skill development to help students become autonomous learners. Students master essential skills and gain confidence in studying academic degree courses taught in English. 

Authentic lectures, readings, and writing strategies created and delivered by professors from Stanford University provide real-life learning experiences. 

New level: High-Beginning

This new level fuse high-interest topics with tasks to develop the language skills needed for managing complex and conceptually challenging content.

The High-Beginning level builds the support that prepares students for the rigor and challenges of the upper levels and beyond.

Each skill presented in the Student Book is followed by connected activities on MyEnglishLab for well-rounded and comprehensive practice in and out of the classroom.
