Listening and Speaking, Level 1, 2nd Edition

The NorthStar series, now in a new edition, motivates students to succeed in their academic as well as personal language goals. Each of the five levels features two strands – Reading and Writing, and Listening and Speaking – which provide a fully integrated approach for both students and teachers.

What sets the New Edition apart? The new themes and updated content, presented in a variety of genres and authentic materials, challenge and engage students intellectually. Enhanced focus on academic skills, such as inferencing, synthesizing, note-taking, and test-taking, helps students develop strategies for success in the classroom and on standardized tests.

The structured approach offers students more opportunities for extended and creative oral practice, including presentations, simulations, debates, speeches, and public service announcements. The new full-color design, with more photos, illustrations, and graphic organizers, fosters student engagement and brings the content to life.

The NorthStar series is now available with MyNorthStarLab, an easy-to-use, powerful online program that saves time and improves test scores. Students receive personalized instruction and practice in all four skills, with audio, video, and test preparation all in one place, accessible anywhere, anytime. Teachers can take advantage of online assessments, a flexible gradebook, and tools for monitoring student progress.

The Teacher's Manual provides a unit-by-unit guide, including overviews, suggested times, step-by-step teaching suggestions, expansion and homework activities, and links to the companion strand and MyNorthStarLab. It also includes detailed multi-level strategies and activities, the Student Book Answer Key, unit word lists for easy reference, and reproducible Unit Achievement Tests to save time and allow teachers to evaluate students' progress.
