Interchange (3rd Edition) Student's Book

Interchange (3rd Edition) has been thoroughly updated to reflect the most recent approaches to language teaching and learning. It remains the innovative series that teachers and students know and love.

The course offers new, fresh content in every unit, additional grammar practice, and more opportunities to develop speaking and listening skills. The series focuses on both accuracy and fluency, and features contemporary topics. The successful multiskills syllabus integrates themes, grammar, functions, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The underlying philosophy of the course remains the same: Language is best learned when it is used for meaningful communication.

The exercises in the 16 teaching units are grouped into two topical and/or functional cycles. Progress checks after every two units allow students to assess and monitor their own learning. New to this edition is a Self-study section with a free audio CD.

Customer Testimonials

"The Interchange series is a standard for the ESL publishing industry. Dr. Richards has created a very successful tool - useful for not only instructing your students, but also for inspiring them. The immediate benefits of using Interchange show themselves very quickly: while the students learn the language in a way that is natural and interesting to them, the teacher learns more about his or her own teaching style (as well as new and effective ways to instruct an ESL class)... a highly recommendable set of books to use."
- TESOL Journal

"One of the best things about Interchange is that the lessons always encourage the students to participate using information from their own lives. This makes class more fun and keeps students' interests high."
- International Language Training Consultants

"Teachers committed to providing the best opportunities for their students to learn English will find in Interchange a valuable tool."
