HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BOOKS FOR CHINA
# 1 PUBLISHER: Foreign Language and Teaching and Research Press has consistently offered the most accurate and useful ESL books in MOST RECOMMENDED BOOKS: Longman Dictionary of 100,000 Words, Longman English Chinese Photo Dictionary, English for Everyday Activities, Crazy English First English Grammar for Primary School Students, I Know, New Century Middle School English Chinese Dictionary, English 900, From ABC to English Conversation, Conquering Spoken English, Dictionary of English Idioms, Relaxed English Speaking, English Through Cartoons, Master 500 English Verbs, Primary English for China, Body Language, Bo Bing's English Grammar, Ho's English Grammar. DICTIONARIES Longman Dictionary of 100,000 Words Idiomatic language, slang, jargon, technical terms, acronyms, phrasal verbs, collocations, and more. I've been pleasantly surprised many times to discover vocabulary simply not available in standard dictionaries. It's compact, it's lightweight, and it's very cheap considering the amount of material. Of course, since it's quick reference, you sacrifice sentence examples, usage notes, and so. And since the definitions are in Chinese, native speakers can't confirm and elaborate.

I've seen many reading textbooks, and have been impressed with very few. This is by far the best. The series is progressive. The articles are not too long, the vocabulary and concepts are not too difficult, the topics are usually not boring or irrelevant. The teachers manual begins with a technical but easy to understand introduction to reading skills, including the author's approach: ACTIVE - Activate prior knowledge, Cultivate vocabulary, Teach for comprehension, Increase reading fluency, Verify reading strategies, Evaluate progress. Exercises include discussion, comprehension, speed, fluency, and vocabulary. Multiple choice, matching, true/false, circle, and fill in the blank are all used. Every chapter has skill boxes and vocabulary boxes. Each chapter in the teachers manual includes background notes on the topic. In the back of the students book are a speed chart, a comprehension chart, a skills index, and a vocabulary index. A wide range of skills, tasks, and tools, a systematic learning approach, a progressive structure, a user friendly format, and reader friendly material combine to make this an ideal textbook.
