Dependable, flexible, enjoyable
7 Nov 2010
I've been teaching English and ESL in Taiwan for about 7 years now and this is one of the few resources I have kept over the years. I went out of my way to buy all three books in the series, including the audio cassettes. I have also recommended them for in-school curricula, without reservation. I like these books so much because I find the content interesting to teach and students generally enjoy the content as well. It's got a very personal touch which stimulates a cognitive-emotional link from students. I also enjoy how many modalities each unit includes: listening, reading, vocabulary, writing, free association, spoken response, pictorial response, etc. You can ratchet the difficulty up or down with ease.
The only drawbacks are, one, the books don't use CD, two, they don't seem to have released any newer editions, and, three, they are relatively drab books. One: Solution: Recording the readings yourself is not a terrible chore. Two: Solution: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. (To my students: I don't authorize such improper English in class!) Three: Solution: make it interesting yourself or invest in the What a World, which is the multiculti, ADHD version of Amazing Stories. (That's a compliment.)
