If you are an English Second Language student from a Latin country, you need this. No matter your learning rate, this will greatly improve your vocabulary. It won't help your accent, but there are great choices on CDs for that purpose. This is a way to build your word store fairly painlessly.Highly reccomended
Great text. It provides all sorts of information that can provide much discussion and work for any level class. It's going to India with me, where I'll be teaching English to Tibetan refugees. It's a must.
Like I said, the ESL students like this text and seem to enjoy learning from it with their teachers. It's is like level One not really a foundation text. Perhaps another level before this would be good for those who speak zero English.
I firmly believe that this book has been very beneficial for my students. Having the words in English and a space to write the word in their language helps them to understand the word better. It also helps then learn the use of the dictionary. What I liked about this book was, it not only comes in English but also to learn spanish.I recommend this book because it helps the student to use words in conversation and sentences .
I thought this book would be good, but the words are way too advanced for a beginning English-languagelearner. You have to introduce simpler vocabulary in a very basic format. The words are also toodifficult for them to pronounce. They are not presented clearly, just in long lists with no application indialogue or clear setting.I will not be able to use it.
The drills in this book are very helpful for the topics being taught, and I highly recommend it as a supplement for teaching English grammar to ESL students. It is not as useful for EFL students because the content is geared to the weather, seasons, culture, etc. of the United States, and is not always applicable for use with students in other parts of the world where these things are different. However, it is possible to adapt the sentences so they can be used outside the USA.
This does not appear to me to be a beginning text at all. Intermediate maybe, but certaintly not beginning. I compared this to Spanish Vocabulary by Dorthy Richmond and found it to be seriously lacking, at least for a beginner.
My students are loving it. It really fosters conversation and it seems relatively easy for them to do. They have learned many new words. Thank you!
