"Every student needs top class listening and speaking skills to succeed at an academic level. "Skillful" focuses on these two skills to give presentation, instant practice, and complete immersion in those language skills. It offers students the opportunity to develop language skills by presenting them with ideas from today's world, while building critical thinking skills that are vital for academic success. This is taken even further with a focus on study skills, providing students with practical guidance and support, and building confidence for independent learning throughout their university career."--Publisher.
