Reviews
There are not very many textbooks out there that combine vocabulary, grammar, and culture into a coherent whole, complete with workbook exercises and audio support. CONTACTS comes the closest to this ideal., The structure of the grammar presentations lends well to the visual learner. The scaffolding approach to the exercises within the textbook helps students build upon knowledge and keeps past knowledge used and not as easily forgotten. The listening exercises are spot on.
