Texts for IEP Classes The office staff will send out the textbook order form at the beginning of one quarter for the following quarter. You are responsible for ordering texts for a class only if you are on the teaching schedule. Texts may be chosen from the following list of approved texts. The textbook committees have spent a great deal of time choosing books that we thought would best serve your level. We have also added pertinent comments for many Please remember, however, that the responsibility for choosing and using the book for your class is yours. Some of the books are shared with another level. We have tried to undo this as much as possible. It is especially important that in the grammar classes you only cover the grammar listed for your level. This will require skipping around in the book. Don’t cover grammar that’s not listed for your level because it’s probably listed for the level you share your book with! Basic book info: G/W classes need a grammar book and a writing book. Some texts combine. R/V classes need a reading book. All reading books now on the list have a strong vocabulary focus, so no additional vocab book is necessary. L/S/P or L/S/N do not need to order pronunciation books. We have a class set of Pronunciation books, and books being approved by the committee generally include pronunciation. If you need to look at an exam copy of a book, there are copies in IB 3411A. Keep the following in mind when you choose your texts: You lead the class, not your book. Please be extremely familiar with the objectives for your class and check your book to see if/how much you need to supplement. Publishers are listed in italics after each book title. Please check the publisher’s websites for correct ISBNs. Use 13-digit ISBNs whenever possible. Be sure you are looking at the correct product! o The publisher’s websites are (control+click to get to them): Pearson Longman http://vig.pearsoned.com/store/home/1,1205,store-14563_id-294341,00.html Thomson/Heinle http://elt.heinle.com/namerica/en_us/index.html McGraw Hill http://catalogs.mhhe.com/mhhe/home.do Cambridge http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/search.asp If a text that you would like is not on the list, give it to Marcie for approval. This process involves a number of people and takes time, so please plan accordingly. Your Textbook Committee was Amilee Roberge, Anna Kim, Amy Fenning and Susie Ross. The most recent books added are bolded in yellow. Please give us feedback if you use one of these books.
