Reading tasks are based on a broad range of texts designed or chosen for their authenticity and relevance to the lives of adult students.
Reading questions are presented to students in a simulated online reading environment. A split screen is used to allow a dedicated area for each text, with questions located in a separate screen opposite.
Students are able to scroll through longer texts, where necessary, and still retain sight of the question they need to answer.
