Study Skills Success is for all students in upper secondary / high school and in higher education who wish to improve their academic study skills. The program also helps students prepare for IELTS and TOEFL and "sits comfortably within the remit of GCSE" (Schoolzone).

The eight units of Study Skills Success are: Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, Research, Visuals, Grammar and Vocabulary. Each unit begins with presentation and input activities and progresses to practice exercises. Most units include extension activities on the integrated website.

There are over 100 activities, including:

• listening to a lecture and completing notes;
• planning and writing a discussion essay;
• going online to develop an evaluation checklist for websites.

The topics used in the program are academic, and accessible to the non-specialist. Much use is made of authentic materials including articles and extracts from New Scientist, National Statistics website, the New York Times, BUAV and many more.

Study Skills Success (optionally) integrates with Author Plus, enabling you to add your own activities, and with Results Manager, so you can call up reports on student activity.

The program is ideal both in the self-access centre for remedial or extension work, and as an integrated classwork or homework component of a taught course. It has been globally adopted by the British Council. Help your students sharpen up their academic study skills with Study Skills Success!
