Which course books should be used to teach English

New English File and New Headway

The New Headway and the New English File language course books are published by
Oxford University Press and are each composed of various levels tailored to English language students and also to English language teachers.

NEF and NHW offer the most complete language course for all levels of students, from absolute beginners to intermediate all the way to the advanced proficient level.
The great thing about these course books is that they are available worldwide in most good bookshops, and even can be bought cheaply on Ebay, or ordered online.

So if you get a new student in who is based in Brazil and you are based in the UK, then both you and the student can get the books easily and do lessons via Skype.

 

The New English File course books

The course books of the New English File series are:
• New English File Beginner
• New English File Elementary
• New English File Pre-Intermediate
• New English File Intermediate
• New English File Upper Intermediate
• New English File Advanced

Each of these course levels include:
Student's book, Workbook, Class Audio

The teacher does not need to have all the course levels books to start with, but only those that are required to teach the level of your students. After you get more students whose English is at different levels, you will slowly add each course book to your English language teaching library and will probably end up owning all of them.

And if just a few hours of teaching one student will pay for one of the above NEF course books [ student's and workbook and class audio] then this is the best investment you can make.

The students use the student's book and workbook for their level of English, and the teacher also has the student's book, workbook, and also the class audio cd's which are for the student's book.

That is all both the student and teacher need.

And you can also teach English via Skype using the NEF and NHW course books.

The New Headway course books

The course books of the New English File series are:
• New Headway Beginner
• New Headway Elementary
• New Headway Pre-Intermediate
• New Headway Intermediate
• New Headway Upper Intermediate
• New Headway Advanced

Each of these course levels include:
Student's book, Workbook, Class Audio

The same as for the NEF course books applies for the New Headway course books.

Why NEF and NHW ?

Because they are the best English language courses books in the world for teaching foreign language students, and not because we say so, but because public state schools, private language schools and freelance English language teachers use them all over the world.

As opposed to most other English language courses, the New English File and the New Headway courses are modern and up-to-date, pleasant for both the student and teacher to use, perfectly structured to teach the English language, have the best student class audio available, and can be bought anywhere in the world.

We do not sell these text books, but you can get them almost anywhere.
