This review is from: ESL Teacher's Book of Instant Word Games: For Grades 7-12 (Spiral-bound)

If I lived in the US I'd have returned this book. The games aren't that great. Furthermore, they don't cover the grammar and conversation I teach in junior high school in Japan. The illustrations are terrible - I don't claim to draw and I could do better than this. To use any of these games (they're actually more puzzles than games) I'd cover up the ugly drawings with liquid paper.

4.0 out of 5 stars ESL Teacher's Book of Instant Word Games, February 14, 2005

I teach ESL in El Cajon, California. I have used this book for over ten years. I like it very much. A previous review was very negative. I did not find this book to be a dissappointment. I use it as a supplement. It is true that the book does not give explanations of grammer. To be fair it does give examples of proper grammar and usage. I use it as a fun supplement. You can create a lesson around the worksheets in this book. Another of my colleagues also likes it very much.

The book is a good supplement to review material that you have already explained in class. I get a lot of use out of it.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for pronunciation exercises but there are errors., November 16, 2008

This review is from: Esl Teacher's Book of Instant Word Games : For Grades 7-12 (Paperback)

I teach pronunciation in Thailand and I use the exercises in the pronunciation part of this book (30 pages) to reinforce the learning of the phonetic alphabet part of my class. It's OK for this but I can't comment on the rest of the book. I can say that there are some errors in this part of the book however. You need to check every exercise ahead of time from a photocopy and make corrections before making copies for your students because about 50% have minor errors. Pretty poor editing work by the publisher to miss these sort of things before going to press. If there were no errors I'd give 4 stars.
