Review
"...I was looking for something new, innovative, and above all, practical, in a textbook...I wanted a high intermediate conversation book that would motivate students while giving them support, confidence, and useful vocabulary. I'm glad to say that two colleagues' recommendations pointed to what I was looking for in Functions of American English...there are many unprecedented, original oral exercises for students. Extensive suggestions to motivate classes are included in the high-grade teacher's manual. So if you're a teacher on the run, as I often am, you will have valuable classroom tools to give that interesting, provocative, and positive class that every teacher aspires to." TESOL-GRAM

Review
'Students ... engage in [the communication activities] with enthusiasm, their interest piqued and their judgement satisfied that the exercises are useful. The words of one student at the completion of an exercise - It is important. I love it - constitute a persuasive recommendation for the use of this lively text in the classroom.' Modern Language Journal

'The authors deserve credit for having produced a good tape and well-organized, creative materials which utilize effective methods of stimulating the kind of communication in the classroom which the students can transfer to their real-life situations.' TESL Canada Journal

This book is not an informational book but is strictly activities. Not what I wanted.
The condition is good and it was received on time.
