Аннотация:
This book uses authentic readings from college texbooks to teach academic reading, writing, and study skills and introduce students to topics in sociology. The Student's Book introduces students to stimulating topics within the field of sociology using authentic readings from university-level textbooks. Topics introduced include peer pressure, the influence of the media, and balancing home and work. Exercises accompany the lessons develop important reading skills such as reading for detail, reading critically, and applying what has been read. Students also learn study skills such as highlighting, note taking, and preparing for a quiz. Each chapter ends with a writing assignment, and tasks to build academic writing skills are found throughout the book. Topics correspond with those in Academic Listening Encounters: Life in Society, and these books can be used together as a four-skills course; however, they function equally as stand-alone texts.
