Basic Grammar in Use, book - for ESL teachersBasic Grammar in Use Student's Book: Reference and Practice for Students of English by Raymond Murphy

This is one of the best, if not the best, ESL books for beginners because it is very easy to follow. This American edition is for beginner to intermediate level learners, and focuses on the fundamental structures of English grammar.

The presentation of the lesson with examples appear on the left-hand page, and exercises appear on the right.

This book gets a 5 ***** star rating from users on Amazon!

I highly RECOMMEND this book and all the "...in Use" ESL books.

Basic Grammar in Use, 2nd edition is a new edition of a highly successful text for beginning to intermediate students.

English Grammar in Use for ESL, book - for ESL teachersEnglish Grammar in Use With Answers and CD-ROM : A Self-Study Reference and Practice Book for Intermediate Students by Raymond Murphy

English Grammar in Use is now available with a bonus extra CD -ROM. It provides comprehensive coverage in simple language of the problems intermediate students encounter.

As the title suggests this book is mainly for self-study but I include it here because teachers can use it just as well.


Side By Side, book 1 - for ESL teachersSide by Side Book 1 by Steven J. Molinsky

Here are some more of what I consider excellent books. These are mainly for intermediate and advanced beginner students.

These are lessons using a lot of colorful pictures and some photographs using basic grammar, item and object identification, dialogues for practicing pronuciation and conversation and building vocabulary.


Side by Side, book 2 - for ESL teachersSide by Side Book 2 by Steven J. Molinsky
The second book in this popular series. Just as good as the first with more lessons and more examples.

What's good about these books is not only can they be used to teach one on one but they are also great in a classroom situation because it invites participation between the students.


Side by Side, book 3- for ESL teachersSide by Side Book 3 by Steven J. Molinsky

Of course it would be ideal to have the complete set of these books since they are so much fun and so dynamic.

They provide a variety of acivities with grammar, spelling, reading and conversation. I skip around from book to book which keeps my students on their toes.


Basic Vocabulary in Use, book - for ESL teachersBasic Vocabulary in Use with Answers by Michael McCarthy

This North American English edition of the popular English Vocabulary in Use series is appropriate for classroom use and for self-study reference and practice.

An easy-to-use format presents a content or grammar-based area of vocabulary on the left-hand page and innovative practice activities on the right-hand page.

Promotes good learning habits and teaches students how to discover rules for using vocabulary correctly.
