Navigating the rough patches in the academic landscape is a tough experience… All you need to survive is… “THE COMPASS”! The Compass: Route to Academic English adopts a constructivist and learner-centred instruction by integrating the four skills -reading, writing, listening, and speaking- using a thematic approach. The Compass: Route to Academic English 1 looks at the theme of “change” from different views and each unit dwells on one specific aspect of the concept, starting with the concept of “Changing the Self” and gradually moving towards a broader topic: “Changing Generations”. The Compass: Route to Academic English 2 looks at the theme of “power” from different views and each unit dwells on one specific aspect of the concept, starting with the concept of “Power and the Individual” and gradually moving towards a broader topic: “Power and the Rich”.
