Q: Skills for Success is a six-level series with two strands: Reading and Writing and Listening and Speaking. Clearly identified learning outcomes focus students on the goal of instruction, while thought-provoking unit questions provide a critical thinking framework. Explicit skills instruction builds student language proficiency and is reinforced by Q Online Practice, which provides 100% new content and practice activities for every unit, Teacher resources include specific notes for each activity, ideas for ensuring student participation, a unit-specific scoring rubric, answer keys and a testing program CD-ROM with customizable tests.

Q Skills for Success encourages students to think critically and succeed academically.

Q’s question-centred approach provides a unique critical thinking framework for each unit. This develops key cognitive skills such as analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating—as well as developing the language skills essential for academic success.

Learning outcomes are clearly stated at the start and end of the units, with competency self-evaluations and vocabulary check lists featuring the Academic Word List. This enables teachers to define learning outcomes effectively to accreditation bodies.
