ESL Intermediate/Advanced Grammar (English as a Second Language Series) Bilingual Edition

Just arrived today, and after a thorough skimming of the contents, looks to be a fine, and maybe my best, resource for ESL tutoring. I've previously served seven years as Head Teacher in Tokyo, Japan for a major international language company, and have been teaching both groups and one-on-one in the U.S. for the past two decades. This solid ESL reference and teaching tool could be used by an ESL teacher/tutor, as well as by an ESL student who has at least broached the intermediate level. A very thick goldmine of useful and practical ESL structures and exercises --- two thumbs way up !!

Bom

I use this for online teaching. It is a great resource!

Straight to the point, practical, and plenty of exercises. However, some concepts havent explored in great details (for eg. the (subtle) difference between "think of" and "think about" aren't mentioned). But overall a pretty good solid book!

I'm not an ESL teacher, but I have been helping a friend who is from Colombia improve her English. Many times, when we start a new section in the book, she has said, "Yes, that has always confused me."

complete and easy in its exposure

This is a great source of materials for intermediate and advanced adult ESL students. It is a joy to share good learning and resource materials with students so eager to learn.

I like the content, for the most part. It seems logically laid out, and easy to follow. I was looking for something with a lot more exercises, though. This doesn't give a lot of practice. Also, I got an very old, discolored book. I would have liked to know that's what I was getting.Something helpful would be to have it on a CD, so I could print and reuse things.
