Each country study starts with a Country Profile section containing basic facts about the target country, followed by selected themes organized under the major headings of Geography, History, Economy, Society and Security. Each study concludes with an achievement test type assessment module. A printable certificate is available to those who receive a passing grade on the final assessment. Recommended for world languages and social studies classrooms.
