Summary: A Text book for Conversation
Review: is used as a text book in my foriegn language conversation class. This book has all-colored paper, so it is pretty expensive, I think. The construction of it is satisfiable. It holds lots of pictures, and I feel more comfortable rather than the book which has only words. But I can't ignore that has boring parts. So, I say that this book is not perfect. gives me some help to study English about pronouncing, etc.

Summary: An Excellent and Current American ESL Resource
Review: I have been using Passages in an English As A Second Language class in Guatemala for about four months and have found it to be a valuable and interesting resource. My students are all native Spanish speakers and I have seen their interest in the material and an improvement in their skills. The series is made up of a student's book, workbook and a teacher's book. All three of these books are well integrated and the teacher's book is written so well that any reasonably educated native English speaker can utilize it to instruct non-native speakers. The grammar points are well selected and relate to the material used to introduce and practice them. I even find the subject matter personally interesting and find that it stimulates conversation in the classroom.
