Q: Skills for Success 2 Reading and Writing & Listening and Speaking

Q: Skills for Success is a six-level series with two strands, Reading and Writing/Listening and Speaking.
Q: Skills for Success uses an essential question in every unit to connect critical thinking, language skills and learning outcomes. The series provides students with the language skills needed to achieve academic success.

Q is a result of an extensive development process involving thousands of teachers and hundreds of students around the word. Their views and opinions helped shape the content of the series. Q is grounded in teaching theory as well as real-world classroom practice, making it the most learner-centered series available.

- Clearly identified learning outcomes focus students on the goal of instruction.
- Thought-provoking unit questions provide acritical thinking framework for each unit.
- Explicit skills instruction builds language proficiency.

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.
