Taking Turns : A Pair-Based Text for Beginning ESL

"Taking Turns" is a beginning-level core text for high school and adult learners.

While the book emphasizes speaking skills, students also learn reading, writing, and listening through pair-based exercises.

This vocabulary-rich text becomes increasingly challenging from unit to unit and contains materials for multiple learning styles.

A straightforward book that is immediately applicable to real life, each unit in "Taking Turns" contains first-person narratives, readings about fictional ESL students, cultural information on everyday courtesies, writing topics, questions for use in unstructured conversations, dictionary-like pages, and pronunciation and phonetics practice.
