A learning resource to help USask educators reshape their teaching practices by using the principles and approaches of UDL.

This Open Educational Resource (OER) text is intended for both pre-service and practicing teachers who are interested in gaining professional knowledge about language teaching methodologies, strategies, and best practices in K-12 settings. The text may be used as an academic resource text for language education courses and academic programs, or as a self-study text for educators who want to become more informed about the process of learning an additional language at school.

The text is user-friendly and engaging, comprised of eight learning modules, a glossary, and a reference scale that identifies skill development in four areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Modules contain bright visuals and charts, as well as links to video clips and resource sites to help teachers extend their knowledge beyond the pages of this OER text.

Our primary goal in adapting University Success from a US-based College Success textbook is to help you succeed in university.

University Success has a student-friendly format arranged to help you develop the essential skills and provide the information you need to succeed in university. This is not a textbook full of theory and extensive detail that merely discusses student success; rather, this is a how-to manual for your first year of study. The book provides realistic, practical guidance ranging from study skills to personal health, from test taking to managing time and money. Furthermore, University Success is accessible—information is presented concisely and as simply as possible.

University Success has the following features to help you achieve your goals: Each chapter asks you to evaluate yourself because success starts with recognizing your strengths and weaknesses, your hopes and desires, and your own personal, individual realities. You’ll develop your own goals based on these self-assessments, determining what success in college really means for you as an individual. Throughout the book, you will find numerous interactive activities created to help you improve your skills. To assist you with this, the material is presented in easily digestible “chunks” of information so you can begin applying it immediately in your own life—and get the most out of your university education.
