Interchange Student's Book 2 with Audio CD (Interchange Third Edition)

I'm an EFL teacher and have been using the Interchange Series for over 20 years. This is a great book to work with. Students like it and it's a very easy material for the teachers, too.However, this is a Student's book, not a teacher's edition. In order to be able to use it in class you need to buy the Teacher's manual along with the class audio CD.For students, the publishers have included an audio CD in this third edition (which was not available in the previous ones)of the Student's Book but it corresponds to the printed material only because it was not designed as a self-study book but rather to be used in regular classes with a tutor.

The description of this set (book & CD) should state that you need another set of audio cds to be fully usuable. The CD in the set only has a few of the audio portions needed to complete the lessons. The CD is called "Self-Study Audio Level 2". The full set of audio needed for all the lessons is sold separately for a very high price and is called "Interchange Class Audio CDs 2 (Interchange Third Edition)". So, I purchased what I thought was a reasonably-priced set and now I find it is incomplete. I am a volunteer ESL tutor so really cannot afford to complete this set so I am very disappointed & feel deceived. Until I bought the book I had no idea that certain sections were not included in the cd. So, be warned that a portion of this book is unusable without the additional and very expensive CDs.Updated: To update my review above, even without the CDs, this workbook is very good. I have been using the lessons for several months now and have found them to include a good variety of current topics that are used for discussion, grammar lessons, and writing assignments. My star-rating is now 4.5.

This book combines speaking opportunities with essential grammar points. I have taught out of this series for ten years now, and my students have shown a great deal of improvement in all four of their communication skills. It is a favorite of seasoned ESL professionals.

Good job, good service, good product.

Excelente producto, llego en excelentes condiciones, lo recomiendo al 100%. Vendedor Excelente y serio. Saludos y que dios los bendiga

good

This book was required for a course (mainly to function as supplemental information & an example of a workbook). I have only used it once, but I liked what I saw. I hope to use it more in my class and when I myself begin to teach.

GOOD

one of the best book I ever purchase for my kids. I recommend for others who looks for similar books

最寄りの書店で購入できなかったため、AMAZON経由で購入しました。日本人向けでなく海外でも英語圏以外の学習用教材なので英語表現の引き出しが増えました。

英語サークルの教材として購入。文法、聞き取り、ライティング、会話と、バランス良く搭載されていて、学びやすい１冊です。リスニングには教師用のＣＤが必要な個所があり、全項目を自習で網羅できないのが残念なところ。

このシリーズを１～３のグレードでやっています。基礎的な学習を総合的に進めていける教材だと思います。ＣＤもあるのでリスニングにもいいです。

教師用のリスニングCDやテキストがないとできないのもあるので、そこは残念ですが、基礎力をつけるのには良いかなと思います。繰り返し繰り返しやっていると身について来るのが自分でも分かります。
