I've searched the forum and online and so far this is the best book I can find:

Out and About: An Interactive Course in Beginning English

What books are good for High School? From what I'm told I'll have A LOT of leeway in planning my lessons (IOW, I have to plan the entire curriculum from scratch).

Sorry if this has been covered before...I'd appreciate any updated information you guys could throw my way!

Thanks,

JTC

I use Let's Talk by Leo Jones. There are three books in the series and you can buy either a cassette or CD to go with it.

I use book 1 with my 1st Graders and book 2 with my 2nd Graders.

I don't go through it chapter by chapter I just choose the topics and activities which will interest my students.

You can buy it in Bandi and Lunis at Jonngak and in the other big book stores aswell.

If your students are low to mid-level, then take a look at Get Real by Buckingham and Craven. Make sure you get the Teacher's CD, because the CDs in the back of the books are incomplete.

I am also a fan of Side By Side as a suppliment to add some speaking practice. I use Side By Side at my university as a warm-up to begin the day. It's easy, until I make them close their books and look at scanned photos without the hints. Sometimes I make them write paragraphs in a certain tense, as well.

Side By Side is easy enough, and can be used in high schools and middle schools, as well. It's not something I'd use as my only textbook, however.
