Adventures in English Vol. 2 provides a delightful alternative to traditional English-teaching texts. The selection of reading materials -- and the instructional activities, commentaries, short essays, and appendices which accompany them -- have been designed to meet the following goals:
* Improve reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills
* Foster a love for reading
* Enhance critical, creative, and holistic thinking
* Serve as an invitation to fields as diverse as cultural anthropology and insect physiology
* Cultivate an appreciation of divergent cultures, customers and ways of thinking
* Promote the search for truth, beauty and compassion
