How does Transitions compare to Future 5 and Stand Out 5?We specially tailored the scope and sequence to cover
the skills need to successfully transition out of ESL.
•Listening: With each listening lesson, students hear a classroom lecture or workplace presentation and
practice valuable note-taking skills.
•Reading: Each unit has 2 reading lessons -- twice as many reading lessons than the regular SBs. Our high-interest readings cover topics designed to help students
cope with the world beyond ESL.
• Vocabulary development: Each lesson teaches students strategies to develop their vocabulary.
• Critical thinking: We’ve put an emphasis on teaching critical thinking: prediction, inference, summarizing.
