Step Forward 4 : Standards-Based Language Learning for Work and Academic Readiness

The Step Forward Student Book and Workbook Pack provides learners with the complete package of Step Forward content. The Student Book incorporates all of the skills learners need to pursue a career or educational program in the USA and the Workbook offers additional practice for every lesson in the student book and reinforces what students have learned in class. 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.

Each pack 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. 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.
