Can anybody recommend a good textbook?

One that has proved effective and entertaining in your class from major publishers Oxford, Heinneman, Longman...?

It has to be one of their newly-published course books or an updated edition.

Thanks

Any textbook will quickly become staid and boring if you don't supplement it and adapt it to your students, do different things with the texts than just going through the questions etc, etc...

It's not what you've got, it's what you do with it that counts :wink:

lolwhites, thanks. I know that you can't use a texbook for more than 20 minutes (or two successive days) without the students getting bored but I was asking about some latest publication which has 'surprised' someone for its effectiveness... Or rather, what's the best among the usually bad.
