NorthStar 1: Listening and Speaking, 3rd Edition

NorthStar, Fourth Edition, is a five-level series that engages students through authentic and compelling content, empowering them to achieve their academic and personal goals. The approach to critical thinking in both the Reading/Writing and Listening/Speaking strands challenges students to move beyond basic comprehension to higher-level analysis. NorthStar, conceptualized to promote critical thinking, infuses analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and application throughout every lesson, not just in a critical thinking section like in other series.

The components of NorthStar include Print or eText, Student Book with MyEnglishLab, eText with MyEnglishLab, MyEnglishLab: NorthStar, and Teacher Resource eText. The Student Book with MyEnglishLab, building on the success of previous editions, continues to engage and motivate students through new and updated contemporary, authentic topics in a seamless integration of print and online content. The eText with MyEnglishLab offers maximum flexibility for different learning styles and needs, as a digital version of the Student Book can be used on iPad and Android devices.

MyEnglishLab: NorthStar allows students to access additional practice online, view videos, listen to audio selections, and receive instant feedback on their work. Teachers can assign MyEnglishLab activities to reinforce the skills students learn in class and monitor progress through an online gradebook.

The Teacher Resource eText includes a digital Student Book, downloadable achievement tests, classroom audio, lesson planners, video activities, videoscripts, teacher's manuals, answer keys, and a downloadable placement test. This resource is accessible through MyEnglishLab: NorthStar.

The Classroom Audio CD contains the recordings and activities for the Listening and Speaking strand, as well as the audio for the achievement tests. The Reading and Writing strand includes the readings on audio.
