  • The Best Books for TEFL / TESL!
I started using these books with the first edition. I primarily have used them in EFL situations, whereas Molinsky and Bliss's Expressways series works best for ESL situations. I fell in love with them simply because they have a very indirect way of approaching grammar, so a teacher has freedom to emphasize grammar as much as wanted. Most other textbooks will have only one or two sample dialogs for practice. Side by Side usually has six or more. I found it easy to expand upon Side by Side dialogs by reversing an answer from positive to negative, changing the time-tense/aspect of a dialog. Because the books are based on a functional-notional approach for each chapter, it is also easy to expand upon the chapters in that way as well. Each chapter deals with certain topics in common life. Those topics can be expanded upon. It is easy to do pairwork as well as small group work with these books. The workbook complements the textbook very well, including a lot of extra contents for listening and speaking. The recordings that can go with the books are also very good, using a large variety of different people for the conversations. They are set up so that students can "repeat after me." By no means go without the teacher's book! While the student books can be used well by themselves, the teacher's books are fantastic sources of practical information about how to teach with Side by Side. The teacher's books make it easy for a new teacher to really develop practical skills and methods to teach, as well as for the more experienced teacher to expand skills with. I should mention that I have never met Steven Molinsky nor Bill Bliss. But I have had literally hundreds of students that were grateful that I found and learned to teach with Side by Side! ... show more

  • Easy to Use for an English Learners class
Like Book 1 in this series, this book is very detailed and provides for a lot of practice in reading, writing, and the interplay of conversation. The colored pictures help make the lesson objective clear as well as entertaining. Because it is written in English and because there are more examples than written English rules, it is perfect for a class format (not so much for home study). There are many opportunities for conversation, especially in comparision of cultures. Great book. ... show more

  • Great Method
It's not the perfect method, but it's better than most. I love that almost every new vocabulary has images, it is easier to explain. The formulas are very simple and the drills are excellent but sometimes too repetitive. Overall it gets the job done in a very simple easy to use manner. Side by side in my opinion is one of the best English learning methods. ... show more

  • The Best Book for Conversation I've Found
This Side by Side series has been around a long time. they are by far the best books to help adults and young people develop their conversation skills. I use it with all of my students. I always supplement with a grammar book for charts and explanations, but I believe the philosophy behind the authors not including the grammar rules is that becoming conversant in a language is more important than understanding the rules behind the grammar. The workbooks is an excellent supplement to the textbook. ... show more
