Highly academic. Good comprehension and vocabulary exercises.

Maria likes it, students seem to like it as well. 

Pati’s students thought it was too hard, esp. the word form exercises.

Gloria feels the topics are too dry.

Per Letty, too hard for students , topics not relevant

Recommended by Letty and Gloria. Not as academic and the topics are more relatable. 

However, MUST supplement reading comprehension. The exercises in the book are too simple and short. Add some comprehension questions where students must write out the answers.

An excellent video-based English learning software program that students can use anywhere with any device to improve their listening, speaking, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary skills. Free MyEnglishLab codes available from George Hein in ATC 305.

McGraw-HillVideos are available online at: http://www.learner.org/resources/series71.html?pop=yes&pid=942

Make sure your students know which episode to watch. The comprehension books are not recommended. Most just use the video.
