Raising the Bar 5 Express goes beyond regular content by challenging students to apply critical thinking skills and to understand abstract ideas and complex issues.

As students do activities and tasks, they develop speaking and writing fluency by

• increasing their grammatical accuracy;
• using richer and more idiomatic vocabulary.

They use critical thinking while

• synthesizing information from several texts;
• deconstructing different types of texts, including essays, a short story and a feature article. 

Based on the MEES Program and the Progression of Learning

All activities and tasks are designed to develop key competencies and skills as specified in the EESL program and to help students with grammatical accuracy, idiomatic vocabulary, synthesizing texts, deconstructing feature articles and more. 

Engaging themes 

High-interest themes, such as Gothic Horror and Utopia, motivate both male and female students and provide a great springboard for discussions.

Topics and texts that develop critical thinking

The Synthesis section and deconstruction tasks encourage students to think critically about reading/listening/watching texts and to apply critical thinking in their final writing task.
