Compass 3 is the third and final level of a theme-based, all-in-one integrated skills and grammar textbook that features high-interest Canadian and international content. It contains reading, writing, listening, speaking, and watching activities that are designed to meet the specific objectives (level, length, and duration) outlined by the Quebec Ministry of Education. Each unit includes in-depth vocabulary development. A comprehensive grammar section allows ample practice opportunities for students. As an integrated-skills textbook, Compass 3 is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing teachers to choose the specific units they wish to use, and match the preferences and style of each instructor and the needs of each classroom. In total, there are six units, and it is expected that most teachers will complete four or five units during the 45-hour program. The student book is accompanied by comprehensive online practice to further solidify learning.
