Explore engaging content while enhancing language skills and critical thinking. The NorthStar series, now in its Second Edition, features two strands: reading and writing, and listening and speaking. Both strands inspire imagination, encourage critical analysis, and foster personal expression. Revision features include updated high-interest topics that motivate students to share their viewpoints. Expanded vocabulary and pronunciation practice enhance language proficiency. A grammar correlation chart connects the series to leading grammar resources, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. The integrated approach includes a teacher's manual with achievement tests, process writing activity books, audio recordings of key reading and listening sections, a new video program, and a Companion Website offering vocabulary worksheets, video worksheets, Internet activities, and additional resources. These resources collectively support a well-rounded educational experience, making the series an effective tool for language development and critical thinking.

Clear and easy-to-follow, the NorthStar listening/speaking and reading/writing books follow the same unique unit outline. Each unit is flexible enough to customize for your individual classroom needs. And while the exercises in steps 1 to 4 are essential for comprehension of the topic, you can choose from exercises 5 to 7 or assign those activities for homework.
