A traditional textbook is a series of documents/texts for you to read and ponder. Now that you are in the United States, texts are everywhere. Texts can be literal documents, classroom lectures, quick conversations, or any other way that brings English to you. What you need is a way to encounter these texts in a way that is useful for your English learning; hence, this task-book will provide a series of tasks that guide you through your interaction with the texts around you in the United States. Each chapter in this book guides you through types of English that you will encounter in American university life. We provide a link to a text that is easily accessible along with an activity that you should use to interact with that text. This process of interaction with authentic texts will give you a new awareness of your proficiencies and deficiencies and a method of developing a plan for those areas.
