Interactive Vocabulary: General Words (Fourth Edition)
Because students benefit greatly from increased word power, the study of vocabulary should be enjoyable. Unfortunately, vocabulary workbooks often lose sight of this goal. To help make the study of vocabulary an exciting and enjoyable part of college study, I wrote Interactive Vocabulary. The fourth edition of this book keeps the elements that make learning vocabulary enjoyable and adds new features in response to comments offered by instructors across the country who teach vocabulary and reading courses.
Academic Vocabulary: Academic Words (Fourth Edition)
Because students benefit greatly from increased word power, the study of vocabulary should be enjoyable. Unfortunately, vocabulary workbooks often lose sight of this goal. To make the study of vocabulary an exciting and enjoyable part of college study, I wrote Academic Vocabulary. The goal of this book—the third in a three-book interactive vocabulary series—is to make the study of vocabulary fun through a variety of thematic readings, self-tests, and interactive exercises. As a casual glimpse through the book will indicate, these activities involve writing, personal experience, art, and many other formats.
The Ultimate Ultimate Phrasal Verb Book Book (Barron's Educational Series)
Written primarily for ESL and EFL students preparing to take language exams in English, this book presents 400 common phrasal verbs and the ways in which they are used in everyday American English. Phrasal verbs are word groups that include a verb combined with a preposition or an adverb. They are not used only as verbs but as nouns, such as comedown, breakup, or showoff. They might also be used as adjectives, such as spaced-out, burned-out, broken-down and many others. This volume places phrasal verbs within the context of sentences, and presents hundreds of examples and exercises.

Storybuilding (Resource Books for Teachers)
Why was this book written? Stories are very much part o f our lives as adults as well as children. We hear stories every day on the news, read them in the newspaper, exchange them with friends as jokes, anecdotes, rumours, stories overheard or ways o f sharing confidences. We collect stories we consider funny, surprising or shocking, and which throw light on what is happening in the world and our views about this. It is one way we exchange information, both about events that have really happened, and those that have been imagined.
