The New Interchange: English for International Communication by series of ESL textbooks, by John C Richards, is great for English language students who just want to learn basic, everyday conversation, review their grammar, practice reading and writing, and work on pronunciation and listening skills.
Each unit focuses on a communication task, and two or three grammar points, with listen and repeat drills for pronunciation. There's also a student workbook included in the full package set for study and review along with CDs and DVD ROMs. So, it's a good value for ESL students. New Interchange: English for International Communication units also include read and listen sections that are excellent for group lessons.
New Interchange: English for International Communication is an outstanding textbook because it makes each unit helpful, but also interesting. Topics like film, sports, movies, music, etc, are used to make the textbook interesting for ESL students. There are also many fun student-to-student activities at the back of every edition. There's a lot of material and focus on group and home study.
