CLOSING THE SKILLS GAP

University Success is an academic course designed for English language learners preparing for mainstream academic environments. Authentic content, provided by top professors from Stanford University, is woven through reading, writing, and oral communication strands. The course–level by level–carefully scaffolds skill development to help students become autonomous learners, thereby closing the skills gap. University Success Writing, Intermediate to High-Intermediate Level introduces students to the skills and vocabulary they need to grow into academic writers. Instruction and writing tasks align with the way academic writing is taught at the university level and across disciplines. Guided exercises, explicit vocabulary instruction, and extensive use of graphic organizers support students through the writing process. Intensive skill development and expanded application, tied to specific learning outcomes and with a strong emphasis on critical thinking, prepare

students to execute writing assignments in different disciplines and meet their academic goals.
