Explore 2 is a theme-based, all-in-one integrated skills and grammar textbook that features high-interest Canadian and international content. In total, there are 6 units and it is expected that most teachers will complete 4 or 5 units during the 45-hour program. This built-in flexibilityallows teachers to focus on the units they and their students find the most stimulating, and provides more variety for teachers who teach the same course successively. Unstudied units can also become extra testing material.Explore 2 is aimed at intermediate students who want to improve their English for career purposes. The textbook contains two readings per unit, writing activities, listening activities, speaking activities, a pronunciation activity, an interpreting data activity, a revising and editing activity, anda watching activity, all of which are designed to meet the specific objectives outlined by the Quebec Ministry of Education. All themes and content in Explore have transferable connections to both technical and pre-university B Block programs. These connections are further reinforced byfield-specific activities and projects in each unit that ensure students transfer what they have learned into practical application within their field of study, using both input and output skills. This innovative textbook addresses the reality that there is rarely a common B Block demographic in CEGEPs or in individual classes. As a result, the book is designed to meet a wide variety of student needs. The goal: help teachers find common denominators that are meaningful to and manageable forthe entire group, no matter students' level or field of study.
