Vocabulary knowledge is the single best predictor of students' future academic success across the curriculum. Longman Cornerstone and Longman Keystone provide explicit instruction in academic vocabulary throughout all levels of the series.
Content-rich readings from across the curriculum paired with modeled learning strategies equip students with the tools they need to achieve academic success as they transition to mainstream classrooms.
A well-organized, yet easy-to-use roadmap of skills is essential to helping your students achieve success. The step-by-step lesson plan and built-in strategies for differentiated instruction ensures that every learner gets the support he or she needs to achieve long term academic success.
Teaching Tip
Foreign Words
One example of language globalization is borrowed words. While English used to borrow mostly European languages such as German (kindergarten, zeitgeist and angst), French (crayon, mayonnaise) or Spanish (guitar, rodeo, tornado), globalization casts a wider net. English now borrows from all over the world: tsunami or kimono and karate from Japanese, bistro or balalaika and glasnost from Russian, geyser from Icelandic, molasses from Portuguese and china/China from Mandarin Chinese. Point out that students therefore know more English than they expect.
