Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great for a class or one-on-one teaching.
Real language acquisition comes from receiving comprehensible input in the target language, AND from practicing output.
Expressways gives practice in PRODUCING UNDERSTANDABLE ENGLISH, which is what the student really needs in order to be able to function in the language.
Students generally need this more than they need to practice understanding English.
Rating:  - wonderful
I am very pleased with the book I ordered. I recieved it very quickly and it was in better shape than indicated. Thank you very much.
Rating:  - No evidence to support this approach
Real language acquisition comes from receiving comprehensible input in the target language, not from practicing output. This has been well researched and documented by Krashen, Asher, and others. No valid research has ever contradicted this. Expressways gives practice for output and grammar training, which might help slightly in the performance of the language, but will not at all help in the real acquisition or understanding of the language.
Rating: - Excellent book for new immigrants
This is a wonderful book, especially geared to the need of non-English speaking learners who are still experiencing cultural shock soon after they stepped on a land totally new to them. It helps them learn not only the target language,but also the culture of the English-speaking people. Matched with cassette recording, it has been well received by my new immigrant students in ESL classroom.
The cassette recording is expensive though.
Rating:  - Better than Side by Side
I am using this for one-on-one ESL tutoring. It gives a small class more flexibility than Side by Side, and it has more variety than SBS. But some things are out of date (water beds?) and other vocabulary suddenly appears without any preparation...however it's the best I've found so far for structuring typical conversational situations for ESL students.
