Dear Kenneth,learning English through this system ESL is a great job done for us and behaving all the beneficiers include me we appreciate your assistance
to improve widely language(English).

But let me,sir,to remind little bit problem about our lesson display “it is so sophisticated that means when you open the lesson you will see a lot programes” so if I would get for todays lesson only is much more easier to explore more articles finally there is small confussion about your dailly lesson.

Thanks for your reading.

Thank you Kenneth for your excellent ideas. I have tried quite a few, very successfully.

What course book would you recommend to teach communicative skills to an adult who is at an elementary level?

Hi,

I’d highly recommend More Grammar Games by Mario Rinvolucri. The books is about using grammar to communicate and has exercises for integrating English language learning through a number of communicative games and other exercises.
