Hello,
I am currently making preparations to give private ESL lessons from my home.
Can anyone give me any recommendations on a textbook with accompanying workbook?
I'm looking for a book with the understanding that some of my students may not exactly have a firm grasp on their native language, so I need a text that starts with the very basics, like the alphabet, and progresses from there. Also, I suspect that the majority of my students will be Spanish speaking, and my Spanish is weak. Therefore, I'll nedd a text and workbook that is conducive to teaching someone whose language I don't speak.
Also, any advice for a fledgling would be greatly appreciated.
If you're sick of answering the same questions over and over again, feel free to tell me to get lost.
A newbie asking a ? you've answered a million times already.
Moderators: Dimitris, maneki neko2, Lorikeet, Enrico Palazzo, superpeach, cecil2, Mr. Kalgukshi2

New Interchange is the classic. They just added a bunch of goodies too. I like it.
Side by Side is OK for beginners, but adults think it's a little childish at advanced levels.
Macmillan just came into the game with (damn I forgot the name) - anyway STAY AWAY. It is a first edition and loaded with mistakes.
I hear good things about the Scott Foresman series.
Good luck
