This review is from: New American Streamline Departures - Beginner: Departures Cassette (Audio Cassette)

I have been teaching English to Japanese for over a decade using the Streamline English series because it is entertaining and easy to both teach and learn from. The series is very well crafted, giving grammar in easily digested doses with a strong component of fun.

The audio cassette adds a lot to the course: breaking up lecture time, exposing students to others' speech patterns and pronunciation and giving an element of fun. Since I started with the British English series and have switched to the American series, my students and I enjoy comparing the differences in usage and even illustrative styles, since the pictures are very charming and often humorous.

This is a great series which I highly recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars streamline`snotthebest, August 16, 2000

This review is from: New American Streamline Departures - Beginner: An Intensive American English Series for Beginners: Departures Workbook A (Units 1-40): A (New American Streamline: Departures (Beginning)) (Paperback)

The book has a lot of useful info and many visuals to figure things out about the content. It manages itself through the cassette that accompanies it. What I don`t like about the book is that it becomes boring for young adults and many times for adults as well. Each unit has to be dealt by the instructor which has to adapt writing exercises, grammar or speaking `cause the book is too limited and bound to repetitions.
