Pretty OK
This book covers only the vowels and consonants that tend to be most problematic for ESL students. It employs a well-rounded approach to pronunciation by including word stress, rhythm and intonation exercises inevery lesson. I don't use it as my primary text, however, it is a good textto use as a supplement with other, more comprehensive materials. Can beused easily without the cassette tape. ... Read more

Samantha Book
I have to tell that Samantha is a good book to learn English.
It has been hard for me to learn a lot of words, but when I read Samantha it was easier because it explains all the vocabulary in the book.
Now, I'm reading Samantha, the sequel and I want to know the end of the story right now! but I know I have to wait and learn more.
I recommend this book and I'd like it if it had a CD to hear the story. ... Read more

Very Practical
I found this book to be very helpful.I helped set up a church-based ESL program and used a lot of the ideas in the book.

Excellent Resource
This book is easily accessible for a beginning ESL program. It is brief, so those with busy schedules need not set aside weeks to read this. It is broken down into chapters that address questions and issues that arise when starting an ESL program, especially one on a low budget. The suggestions are easily adaptable, and while the author emphasizes a faith-based ESL program, there is plenty of advice for those churches who will not be teaching religion outright along with ESL. The author also includes forms, tests and posters, as well as pages of additional resources. A great book to begin with when investigating your own volunteer-based ESL program.

A valuable resource for faith-based ESL teaching.
This book provides valuable information for those interested in the teaching of ESL under church auspices. It emphasizes that setting up a program must be taken very deliberately. Given that, however,it stresses at the same time that with proper oversight, intelligent volunteers can teach ESL after a few training sessions.
It is, however, a bit off-putting that it approaches the provision of ESL classes as a means to recruit church members, rather than offeringclasses with no strings attached. ... Read more
