An excellent resource for ESL teachers that not only provides valuable information, but does so in a diverse and applicable manner. I appreciated how the authors of this book were realistic in different ESL situations and kept in mind how different countries and different student types approach ESL learning. If anything, this book is a must-read simply for the excellent explanations on good and bad lesson plans!

This book offers an innovative approach to teaching and developing reading skills in english. Students increase both reading comprehension and reading speed through an extensive array of exercises offering practice in: vocabulary building, context clues, dictionary use, forming conclusions, locating answers, scanning, finding the main idea, and rapid word recognition.

This book introduces students to the basiscs of paragraphs development while also teaching the fundamentals of grammar and sentence construction. Step-by-step avtivities and writing suggestions give students a dynamic, hands-on approach to writing. Most sentence-level exercises are presented within the context of a paragraph, which conditionsstudents for academic writing.

This book introduces students to the process of paragraph writing and teaches them how to produce great paragraphs by generating, developing , and organizing their ideas. In great paragraphs, Units 1-5 discuss the elements of a good paragraph, Units 6-10 are devoted to five rethorical styles of paragraphs, Unit 11 focuses on transitioning from paragraph to essay, and appendixes 1-6 offer aditional practice material.
