Interchange Voices

“ I have been using the Interchange series for more than two years, and my students and I have been enjoying it through the four skills (Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking). Just like the four wheels of a nice car to take you to the four corners of the world, the Interchange series provides us with sufficient material that suits our multicultural setting.  It’s outstanding when we use the Interchange Arcade for review! My students love it and always ask for the link.

— Jean SawadogoInteractive College of Technology, ESL Division Chamblee CampusU.S.A.

“ Since 1997, I have used various EFL and ESL books to teach my students how to communicate exactly what they mean in English. However, a great majority of them were not able to help, as they overload EFL and ESL learners with detailed and passive grammar. Interchange is one of a few books which teaches EFL learners how to establish a common door of understanding with their interlocutors. It teaches students how to use grammar in conversation to communicate their thoughts, which makes Interchange stand out from other books.

— Taj Bakhsh HosseiniBezmialem Vakif University Turkey

“ We have been using the Interchange series for over 20 years. Throughout these years, I have found that Interchange is a powerful tool that helps teachers assist our students in learning the four skills. We have found that the topics and materials offered by Interchange are current and are of interest to all.

“ Over a number of years I have found the Interchange course to provide a readily accessible, authoritative, and integrated body of resource material for effectively teaching EFL. The textbooks are visually appealing with topical content and clearly structured to assist the learning of the four skills. Articles and Further Readings are available to guide the teacher and to enhance the teaching experience. Integration kits are available for download, which enable the teaching material to be extended. Jack Richards has done EFL an excellent service in providing this versatile and relevant pedagogical resource.

“ As a busy teacher and language program director in Japan, I need solid materials that will meet our students’ needs, are easy to use for instructors, and which satisfy the concerns of institutional stakeholders. Interchange has been an excellent educational resource tool for meeting all of those concerns. For me, Interchange means that we can focus on the task of teaching without worrying about the quality of instructional materials, and we can always count on Cambridge University Press to support us in our ongoing curriculum development.
