They are encouraged to develop their comprehension and vocabulary skills, while forming a reasoned assessment of the effectiveness and validity of a text. Highlights <ul>
<li>The text goes beyond the standard "reading comprehension plus vocabulary" approach.</li> <li>Includes opportunities for further research, as well as writing tasks designed to allow students to synthesize the materials they have read and reach an individual conclusion.</li> <li>Each chapter introduces a fundamental skill for developing critical awareness, including: <ul>
<li>considering place and date of publication;</li> <li>identifying author bias and purpose;</li> <li>distinguishing between fact and opinion;</li> <li>gauging scope of research;</li> <li>evaluating evidence;</li> <li>comparing the author's argument to other points of view; and</li> <li>ultimately, evaluating the strength and validity of an argument with the goal of writing a critical review of the article.</li> </ul>
