My favorites are English Time and Let's Go by Oxford University Press.

Let's Go is pretty good, especially with the workbooks! It's a bit too passive otherwise. Mix things up with review games.
I think the best is to use a variety of sources (love the photocopier), and tailor make some as you go. |

Let's Go and English Time are meant to be used together. Oxford recommends that you use say - level 1 of ET followed by level 1 of LG.
Either series on their own are fine, but student who do them together are way ahead because they learn a lot more vocabulary and get double the time on each area of the grammar.
Supplimenting with things from Up and Away is OK too, but be careful not to get overly tied up with grammar exercises. The U & A with phonics is good too.
If you are interested in crosswords and goofy pictures that help teach grammar, use the workbooks from Finding Out as suppliments or American English Today.
But some of the vocabulary may be a bit different, so you may have to pre-teach the vocab if you use these.
(Finding Out tends to work a lot on the progressive tense while other series work on present simple, students will find this confusing if they are not used to working with both tenses) |
