STUDY
SKILLS Success is for all students in upper secondary
and higher education who wish to improve their academic
study skills. The program also helps students prepare
for IELTS and TOEFL and "sits comfortably within the remit
of GCSE". (See Independent
evaluation.) It has been globally adopted by the British
Council.
The
eight units of STUDY SKILLS Success are: reading,
writing, speaking, listening, research, visuals, grammar
and vocabulary. Each unit begins with presentation
and input activities and progresses to practice exercises,
and most units include extension activities on the
integrated website at www.StudySkillsSuccess.com.

There are more than 100
activities. These include:
| • |
listening
to a lecture and completing notes; |
| • |

and writing a timed discussion essay; |
| • |
going online
to develop an evaluation checklist for academic

On
installation you can choose between the International English
version and the North American English version. The International
version includes a range of accents from Britain,
Australia, New Zealand, the US and Canada; the North
American version includes only North American voices.
The
topics used in the program are academic and accessible

materials including articles and extracts from New
Scientist, National Statistics website, The New York
Times, The Week, BUAV website and many more.
