The Compass Route to Academic English 2 + Audio (9786055450670)

THE COMPASS: Route to Academic English 2 adopts a constructivist and learner-centred instruction by integrating the four skills- reading, writing, listening, and speaking- using a thematic approach.

All the texts and tasks in the book revolve around one main theme: Power. THE COMPASS: Route to Academic English 2 looks at the theme of “power” from different views and each unit dwells on one specific aspect of the concept, starting with the concept of “Power and the Individual” and gradually moving towards a broader topic: “Power and the Rich”.
