Some Good Books for You, my EFL Friends

Talking about interesting books to read, it's time for me to share some recommended book for you.

Let's start with Grammar books.
  • Basic English Grammar (Beginner), Fundamental English Grammar (Intermediate), and Understanding and Using English Grammar (Advance) by Betty Azar are the first recommended grammar books. I can say that these Grammar books are the soul of all grammar books ever. If you want to learn grammar, these books are the most suitable for you. Those are completed with simple explanations, many examples and also various exercises that can hone your Grammar ability. 
Reading Books.
  • Steps to Academic Reading 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 by Jean Zukowski/Faust . Those are really great reading books I'm told. In every levels you can find out many interesting texts with many exercises, e.g scanning, skimming, context clues, understanding sequences, vocabulary drilling, Idioms, details, etc.Unfortunately, I have Step to Academic Reading 3. It is so marvelous book for me. 

Writing Books.
  • Writing Academic English by Alice Oshima and Ann Hogue. This book is so good to improve your writing ability. It provides simple explanation for us EFL learners and also it provides some examples in every chapter. I use this book in sharpening my English and I just have the third edition only. 
Speaking Books
  • Person to Person: Communicative Speaking and Listening Skills, 1, 2 , and 3 by Jack C. Richard et al. I used to have these books when I was in the first semester. These books are really great, I really suggest you to have them. The contents are completed by pictures. They also provide some nice and simple explanation, they also provide good example, tell us the manner how to use formal and informal language too, two thumbs up! 
Listening Books
  •  I do not have any listening books, but I can give you some interesting listening materials that you can directly download at British Council, or just search on Google search engine by typing listening podcast and scripts. A hundred listening comprehension MP3s can be found there.If you have ones, let's share to me and everyone. 

That is some information I can share, especially about some recommended books and materials you can read or download. Enjoy your reading journeys friends!

Bye by now
