ESL Textbooks for Beginners
An Anonymous teacher from Portugal writes:
Hi. I'd like to know what's the best coursebook for Portuguese students, who are learning English (100-150h) for the 1st time? Can you suggest the one you consider the most adequate and effective?
Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for contacting me.
I have used a few series of books out there for classrooms, such as Focus on Grammar and New Interchange. They are both adequate. As for effective, I'd say they are as effective as any other books. It depends on how you use them and what supplemental material you use.
These are ESL textbooks for adults. You didn't mention if you're teaching children or adults. I don't have any recommendations for children.
If you're teaching one-to-one, then see my ESL Textbook Evaluation page for the books I use.
Good luck,
Debra

A great book for children is "Star Players" I think it is from Richmond :)
