Study Skills Success is for all students in upper secondary and higher education who wish to improve their academic study skills. The program also helps students prepare for IELTS and TOEFL and "sits comfortably within the remit of GCSE". It has been globally adopted by The British Council.

The eight units of Study Skills Success are: reading, writing, speaking, listening, research, visuals, grammar and vocabulary. Each unit begins with presentation and input activities and progresses to practice exercises, and most units include extension activities on the integrated website. See right for a full syllabus.

There are more than 100 activities. These include:

• listening to a lecture and completing notes;
• planning and writing a timed discussion essay;
• going online to develop an evaluation checklist for academic websites.

The topics used in the program are academic and accessible to the non-specialist. Much use is made of authentic materials including articles and extracts from New Scientist, National Statistics website, The New York Times, The Week, BUAV website and many more.

Study Skills Success integrates with Author Plus, enabling you to add your own activities designed for your students' specific needs, and also with Results Manager enabling you to view student activity. These programs are optional add-ons.
