Step Forward Level 4 Student Book with Online Practice: Standards-based language learning for work and academic readiness (Step Forward 2nd Edition)

The Step Forward Student Book incorporates all of the skills learners need to pursue a career or educational program in the USA. The Step Forward Second Edition series provides the essential language, skills and rigorous content that adult English language learners need to move confidently toward their work and academic goals.

The one-page 'At Work' sections in every unit build the essential skills students need in the workplace. The course also features 'Everyday Conversation' lessons, which focus on the functional English that students need in the real world. Newly revised to align with the College and Career Readiness Standards (CCR) and the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELP), Step Forward ensures that learners are well prepared to use their English in the real world.

Each Student Book includes access codes for Step Forward Online Practice and the Oxford English Vocabulary Trainer app. The Online Practice reinforces the language and skills taught in the Student Books with over 200 new interactive activities that motivate students to keep learning and developing their digital literacy skills. With the app, students can download the Step Forward wordlist to practice course-specific vocabulary. The app provides engaging and gamified practice with personalized, intelligent feedback.
