What book do you use for intermediate and pre- intermediate ADULTS?
|
|
Hi dear colleagues:
I use Cutting Edge with my adult students, and I like it, as it is modern and the contents are well organized. But, could you tell me which other book you use for adults, with up-to-date format and interesting layout? I need to combine 2 books. Thanks in advance!

Hi Eleonora! Haven �t seen you on skype for a long while.
Anyways,
I use New English file, it has proved very reliable and complete. This month I �ve been trying out Total English intermediate...well, I �d say NEF is still better. Total English Intermediate offers good vocabulary, though, but grammar will have to be taken from other resources because there is just not enough practice. I �m using this book only this summer, and can �t wait to start NEF in September. So, my recommendation is New English File.
Have a good day,
Kate (Katya)

I �ve used New Interchange. If your looking for a book that focuses on speaking and listening this would be useful because emphasis is placed on communication. It contains explainations on grammar and exercises, but I find the grammar exercises will have to be taken from another book, because this book just doesn �t have enough exercises. |

My adults loved face2face from CUP (Cambridge University Press)!!
I hope this series is available in your country. |

I like Cutting Edge a lot, but I �d have to agree with a lot of people above and say New English File is the best series of books around for adults. It balances the skills while providing real life English for a variety of situations.
Otherwise I also think New Headway is pretty good!
