I am an educator who does part-time voluntary work with individual young adults learning English. I work with some of my students face-to-face and with others via regular email contact. I am not a trained ESL teacher. I have bought several copies of this book for my students. I have waited for a text like this for some time. It is truly excellent. It sequences learning in a logical way for students. It builds grammar, vocabulary and contextual understandings in ways that my students are responding too very positively. My distance students manage their own learning. There is in-built practice work and skill and knowledge building is carefully planned. The pictures and bubble text are great and contexts and linguistic relationships are very clear. A great learning resource - useful with teachers or without. Can't wait to get Vol 2!

I found this book at the library, then bought it from Amazon because I wanted to own it. I tutor a very basic ESL learner, and while we've made great strides in pronunciation, I didn't feel like we were getting anywhere with comprehension. This book allows us to practice and repeat the concepts and vocabulary, all in the proper context. This book shows you how to use the language in basic situations, and doesn't clutter the lessons with grammar vocabulary (my student doesn't need to know the words "subject", "object", "predicate", or whatever - she just needs to see how the language works). It's a great book for students with a limited understanding of English, and I highly recommend it!

wonderful product! it is a fantastic new addition to my esl library. I received great service and a product I will keep on using over and over again

good tool for esl students. it's mostly pictures of scenarios to teach about things like conversations and things in context. prefer using the picture dictionary.
