I never knew about this product until I went to visit my country and an school director of Languages asked me if I could send her the complete program of Spectrum: A communicative Course in English because that is the program the school have been teaching for 40 years.....AMAZING. I believe this is a wonderful recommendation!

I'm a teacher in Chile, and I've using this series since 1995. The texts indeed follow the rules of the notional functional aproach. As a T E F L tool, it is focused mainly to be used in the U.S.A. There are some exercises in which the students in the classroom, supposedly, are from different parts of the world, notwithstanding, in my classes there are only Chilean students, so we must pretend that they are from different nationalities. I'd suggest that the editorial, or much better said, the authors, should bear in mind that for future editions. With respect to the videos, they should be interactive, i.e., there should be opportunity to respond questions, or the appropriate phrase or sentence, for example: a person in the video could say: "Hi, I'm John Sanders", and the students answer:(chorally or individually)"Hello, my name's Arturo Perez" and then: "Nice to meet you, Arturo." "Nice to meet you, too, John",etc.
