|
|
I've just taken on a private student and she'd like us to work through a text book together. She's just returned from a year in England, so her English is decent. She can communicate well but wants to focus on correct sentence construction. From the first lesson I'd say she needs to practice conjunctions and simple tenses to start.
Can anyone recommend a good text book? |

| Anything by Raymond Murphy or Betty Azar should provide you with drill books on those topics. |

| What's her focus? Social, academic or business? |

Too vague I think.
I use many books but I think some good ones are Top Notch and Cutting Edge. |
