Practice Makes Perfect: English Vocabulary for Beginning ESL Learners, Third Edition

This book is used by my wife's english tutor. She is korean. It is straight and forward. Easy to understand. A great beginners text book.

This books teaching system is very nice. I love that

This book offers a great introduction not only the vocabulary but also some levels of grammar for ESOL students.

There are no pictures in the book so I use other materials to introduce and teach new vocabulary. After my ESL students are somewhat familiar with vocabulary terms, I can find practice and extension activities that correspond to our lessons. Often the exercises extend what my students are learning. For example, after spending a few days learning words that describe feelings or conditions of a person, my students realized some of the words on flash cards were opposites. Then they were able to complete a vocabulary exercise in the text learning the term “antonyms”. They already knew most of the words in the exercise and that left only a few unfamiliar words to teach before completing the exercise. A following activity directed them to create sentences using “and” or “but” and two or more of the vocabulary words. So this text is useful to extend previous learning.

It's worth recommending

Thank you

Being a ESL tutor this book is amazing

I found the content very superficial. If you do not have any knowledge of English this book will not help you.

Por melhores que sejam os conhecimentos gramaticais e a pronuncia de um idioma, sem o amplo domínio do seu vocabulário, sua fluência será insatisfatória. É exatamente esse domínio que a obra English Vocabulary propicia: o aprendizado de milhares de palavras do cotidiano, de uso obrigatório na conversação diária. Ademais, a obra prima pelos recursos utilizados. Desde o uso das palavras no contexto devido à construção de sentenças apropriadas; inclusive, mediante a prática de centenas de exercícios. Dispões ainda da chave das respostas, além de incluir a revisão das lições via app e online. Pela didática e metodologia empregadas, trata-se de obra recomendável para todos os estudantes do idioma inglês, especialmente para aqueles que têm domínio insuficiente do vocabulário.

Perfecto para aprender los verbos

This is supposed to be for BEGINNER English speakers. The instructions for exercises are far, far beyond a brand-new ESL learner with virtually no English. The refugees I volunteer with will definitely not be able to work on this without me explaining every single exercise in far more basic English. I'm bitterly disappointed.
