Abstract

The new Pathways academic skills series, published by National Geographic Learning, part of Cengage
Learning, contains four levels and two strands: 1) Reading, Writing, and Critical Thinking, and 2) Listening,
Speaking, and Critical Thinking. A. Suresh Canagarajah, in his 2006 TESOL Quarterly article, TESOL at Forty:
What Are the Issues?, reflects upon a number of complex tensions in our field, some of which are evident
in the series’ highest level Listening and Speaking text.
