Besides, the units are divided into four main modules, which are Listening, Speaking, Reading, and  Writing, and also a plus a one-page Vocabulary module. Finally, there is a small section on certain pages that encourage the learner to study independently. Although each unit contains a specific activity titled “Critical thinking”, most of the activities in the book are focused on the development of the learner’s critical thinking, encouraging them to generate, organize, analyze and evaluate their ideas.
