THE AIM OF THE BOOK
The Forefront, Achieving Academic Success 2, the second book of the series, also
follows an integrated approach and aims to improve the academic skills of first-year
university students. Thematic reading and listening materials, which follow the theme
of inclusion, lead to productive skills, writing and especially speaking, which are the
two skills the book mainly targets.
The activities in the book allow students to engage in current controversial topics and
analyze them in depth by considering different perspectives. The book also highlights
the importance of research in academia and its integration into speaking and writing.
The tasks provide plenty of opportunities for students to do research and use what
they find as evidence. These enrich students’ ideas and arguments when writing and
speaking.
To help students master the target skills and accomplish more autonomous and
extended speaking and writing tasks, extensive input on these skills has been included.
Building on the writing input in the first book of the series, this one focuses on the
essay, one of the most common genres students write at university. The two common
academic speaking genres taught in the book are Socratic seminars and debates.
Written and spoken samples are also provided, which students can use as models.
We hope the book provides guidance for both teachers and students and helps
students to become independent, mature, and confident writers and speakers of
English
