Learning English for Academic Purposes (LEAP) uses high-interest international content to prepare students for the English academic world.

nbsp;

The texts encourage students to apply critical thinking skills as they engage in academic reading and writing and listening and speaking tasks across a range of disciplines. Each strand (Reading and Writing, Listening and Speaking) follows a parallel chapter structure that builds from a warm-up activity to increasingly challenging skill-building assignments and a final speaking or written presentation that synthesizes all the skills learned.

Features:

¿nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Academic vocabulary development, including two Vocabulary Build activities in every chapter, gives students ample opportunity to expand their vocabulary.

¿nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Three authentic readings per chapter prepare students for the text length and genres they will encounter in academic courses.

¿nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Wide range of audio presents different viewpoints to encourage students to think critically while developing comprehension of academic content.

¿nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Linear and guided writing tasks take a process approach to guide students in writing various types of essays and assignments in each chapter.

¿nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The LEAP Companion Website Plus provides self-graded exercises for reading, listening, vocabulary, and grammar. Also includes teacher access to answer keys, teaching notes, tests, and a gradebook to track student progress.
