Functional Skills - a road to success
Listening & speaking
Listening and speaking form the main focus of each unit. There are plenty of examples that equip students with good speaking models. These are supported with exercises, which allow students to practise their listening and speaking skills while interacting with classmates or the teacher.
Reading, Writing & other skills
Roadmap also provides thorough support for the development of writing, reading and additional listening skills. Every unit includes three Develop your skills lessons. Each lesson focuses on a specific skill and is linked thematically to one of the main lessons.
Like all of Pearson's general English courses, Roadmap also focuses on improving students’ pronunciation skills, grammar and vocabulary.
Skills for the 21st Century
Lastly, Roadmap develops students' 21st Century Skills. These include communication skills, listening actively and giving feedback, understanding cultures and teamwork, to name just a few.
