This is one of the more popular articles on this blog, so I have decided to make it available as a PDF that you can view online or download. Teaching English /l/ vs. /r/ (click to view PDF).

MAR 14 A Quick Guide for Teachers Using Core English for Global Communication I am making a PDF available for download. It is an overview and quick guide about the textbook for teachers who are planning to use the book in their EFL courses. It may also be of interest for those who are considering the textbook for classroom use. It explains the language proficiency levels that the book has been designed for (in terms of TOEIC, CEFR, etc.). It then looks at the main task sets in each unit. Finally, it gives a message that teachers might use in their first class to help their students engage the book and English learning in class. In future blog posts here, we will be looking at sample units and then specifically at how to teach and manage each task set in the book. We will also look at alternative procedures for running the tasks in class. Please note, this file is not the teacher's manual. The teacher's manual is available from Asahi Press.  

This takes you to the post at the blog dedicated to the textbook. https://coreenglishforglobalcommunication.blogspot.jp/2018/03/word-frequency-list-for-core-english.html
