Is anyone familiar with the Let's Go series by Oxford? I'm trying to choose a follow-up textbook for a class of particularly bright & enthusiastic elementary kids who tore through level 6 like nobody's business. Unfortunately, I can't find anything that seems really compatible to move onto. All the samples I got of books that make sense to go to next seem really different-- too heavy focus on reading, chaotic layouts, and importantly, lacking in that awesome accompanying CD-ROM that Let's Go offers.

Anyone familiar with this particular predicament? I'd greatly appreciate suggestions....in a really good place with this class & want to keep the momentum going.... Thanks!

your best bet is to visit kyobo gwanghwamun(spelled wrong im sure) and find a book you like. they have a massive number. it you are too far message me and i will try to help. i own a large number of elementary texts. i suggest you maybe do some immersion with them.

Kidari English bookstore has quite the selection of textbooks. They have locations all over Korea, the one I go to is by Beomgye Station in Anyang.

There really isn't a good choice for a follow up to Let's Go.

At least I haven't found one I liked.

You might try something like "Can you Believe It?"

or the new series "Totally True"

but you said you didn't want just a reading series.

Perhaps someone else has some suggestions.

There's always "Side by Side".

or things like this;

Stay away from Northstar.

They push the online homework component heavily, but what you learn later is that 40 percent of the book is actually part of the online homework. Also, the learning curve to create the courses online, and make templates, is far too complicated. The book is sooooo boring.
