Description
Compass 1 2e is a theme-based all-in-one integrated skills and grammar textbook that features high-interest Canadian and international content. It contains reading, writing, listening, speaking, and watching activities that are designed to meet the specific objectives (level, length and duration) outlined by the Quebec Ministry of Education. Each unit includes in-depth vocabulary development. A comprehensive grammar section allows ample practice opportunities for students. As an integrated-skills textbook, Compass 1 is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing teachers to choose the specific units they wish to use, and match the preferences and style of each instructor and the needs of each classroom. In total, there are six units and it is expected that most teachers will complete four or five units during the 45-hour program. The student book is accompanied by comprehensive online practice to further solidify learning.

Editorial Reviews
"Compass 1 is an essential tool for teachers and students. Its one-book concept makes it attractive to both teachers and students. Compass authors have achieved a connection with Quebec students and have met their needs." --Achsa Ramadeen, Collège de Valleyfield
"I have adopted the Compass and Explore series for the groups I teach and I am very happy with them. Especially now that we teach remotely, the website and the e-book are a lifesaver. Compass 1 is very good, possibly the best material for 100A right now." --Adriana Balan, Collège Ahuntsic
"Exciting... Fresh... Interesting themes." --Luiz Lima, Cégep de Thetford
"The skills section has all the grammar parts integrated. An all-in-one solution with extra grammar exercises." --Jean-Thomas Courchesne, Cégep de Sherbrooke
