Hot Topics is a new two-book series specifically developed for the intermediate to advanced English language learner. The series is intended to support a discussion-style classroom and contains some of the most current issues of interest. Within each unit, students will be exposed to a variety of ideas and offered multiple opportunities for discussion. Reading and listening passages have been designed to both engage and inform the learner.
The graded passages allow students to comfortably progress to more challenging ones as they move from book one to book two. Exercises in the Hot Topics series provide the opportunity to further develop students' reading, listening, writing, and discussion skills.
