Pathways Listening, Speaking, and Critical Thinking Second Edition, is a global, five-level academic English program. Carefullyguided lessons develop the language skills, critical thinking, and learning strategies required for academic success. Using authentic and relevant content from National Geographic, including video, charts, and other infographics, Pathways prepares students to work effectively and confidently in an academic environment.

Explicit instruction and practice of note-taking, listening, speaking, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation develop language proficiency and build academic skills.

Critical thinking activities are integrated throughout each unit, and help develop independent learners.

Exam-style tasks prepare students for a range of international exams, including TOEFL and IELTS.

Online Workbooks, powered by MyELT, include automatically graded activities and video clips for learners to practice the skills taught in the Student Books.
