Summary: Great teaching tool for English conversation
Review: 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.

Summary: Streamline as a teachers tool.
Review: I've worked in Japan teaching English and this text was the only one used by the company I worked for. I found it to be very useful, and a good tool for teaching, but I think it wouldn't be any use to someone teaching themselves. But, in the right hands its a very useful way to pick up some of the finer points of English.

Summary: streamline`snotthebest
Review: 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.
