TESTIMONIAL

"A practical, deep book for ESL teachers and students ...This outstanding resource, designed for our 21st century English language learners and ESL teachers, fills a critical gap. Providing practical exercises that explain 94 confusing idioms that fill news articles from the BBC, VOA, and CNN, this text helps international students become both better news customers and world citizens. As an English teacher who works with international students develop their writing skills, I found these exercises exceptional. "Reading English News on the Internet" also includes chapter quizzes to test and re-enforce vocabulary and skills. 
While the news idioms chapter stood out as the strongest aspect, I also found the sections on connectors and vocabulary very effective - especially for computer labs and homework. The section quiz on connectors will become my pre-test for my next class on academic writing. The book's clear, concise structure will allow me to individualize assignments, focusing on the connectors that students missed. These 28 connectors, each explained in a lucid manner, will improve the cohesion and flow of ESL student essays and reports.
In short, I strongly recommend this information-packed, up-to-date ESL text for intermediate and advanced ESL students, IEP programs, and English language trainers. Don't be surprised if this becomes a classic ESL textbook!"  —Eric Roth - ESL specialist
