Great teaching tool for English conversation

I have been teaching English to Japanese for over a decade using the Streamline English series because it is entertaining and easy to both teach and learn from. The series is very well crafted, giving grammar in easily digested doses with a strong component of fun.The audio cassette adds a lot to the course: breaking up lecture time, exposing students to others' speech patterns and pronunciation and giving an element of fun. Since I started with the British English series and have switched to the American series, my students and I enjoy comparing the differences in usage and even illustrative styles, since the pictures are very charming and often humorous.This is a great series which I highly recommend.
