Liste des composantes
The answer for your enriched students in ESL
Activities and tasks are designed to help students with:
- grammatical accuracy;
- idiomatic vocabulary;
- synthesizing texts;
- deconstructing texts, including feature articles.
Engaging themes
High-interest themes, such as Gothic Horror and Utopia, motivate both male and female students and provide a great springboard for discussions.
All-in-one format
With Raising the Bar, you can work on all parts of the ESL program - oral interaction, reinvesting understanding, written productions - with just one resource. No more extra work!
Topics and texts that develop critical thinking
The Synthesis section and deconstruction tasks encourage students to think critically about reading/listening/watching texts and to apply critical thinking in their final writing task.
The series offers two options:
- Raising the Bar 5 - a 240-page activity book for Enriched ESL students (EESL)
- Raising the Bar 5 Express - a 128-page activity book for advanced or Enriched students
Each activity book is also available in a digital version of the Activity Book and offers additional online practice opportunities through self-graded activities.
Help students to “raise the bar” in their communication in English!
