[Ｂ．Ｋ．クリスチャンス: Pathways L/S Split 2A]
Classes will focus on explicit instruction in and practice of listening skills (such as note-taking, listening for reasons and opinions, and making inferences from context) and speaking skills (including clarifying and rephrasing, and pronunciation), as well as presentation activities based on the topic of each unit.

[Ｒ．Ｍ．ソーレス: Pathways R/W Split 2A]
Classes will focus on explicit instruction in and practice of reading skills (such as note-taking, identifying main ideas, inference, and prediction), as well as vocabulary-building and writing tasks based on the topic of each unit.

Both L/S and R/W classes will include activities to build academic skills, such as critical thinking and discussion.
