505 _a"Welcome to the new edition of LEAP 2: Reading and Writing. Building on the first edition (LEAP Intermediate), this book aims to improve your reading and writing skills with Academic Word List (AWL) vocabulary, grammar, Academic Survival Skils, and Warm-Up and Final Assignments that let you apply what you learn in individual and personalized ways.
505 _aThere are two new features in LEAP 2: Reading and Writing. Focus on Critical Thinking helps you reflect on what you read to develop strategies that can be applied to writing. The Pearson Global Scale of English (GSE) structures LEAP 2's learning goals to give you a clearer idea of the language objectives you should aim to meet.
505 _aEach chapter in the book focuses on engaging themes drawn from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as education and business fields. Each chapter includes three readings related to the chapter theme, often with divergent perspectives. Most of these readings are authentic and give you the chance to apply your critical thinking skills in pre-reading and follow-up tasks. The readings include a variety of genres that you will encounter in your academic studies, including excerpts from textbooks, journal articles, and reports. The writing component involves different types of paragraphs and other forms, including an essay. To help you better understand each format, the Models Chapter provides clear instructions and examples. Beyond the book, My eLab exercises and documents give you the opportunity to reinforce and build on what you learn.
505 _aLEAP 2: Reading and Writing will give you the confidence to take the next steps on your path to academic and career success." (Introduction, p. iii)
