En general, me está gustando trabajar con el método, entre otras cosas porque me permite introducir e intercalar actividades complementarias de otros métodos, internet, etc. y después de ellas me resulta fácil retomar el libro mismo, cosa que a veces es complicado con otros métodos cuyas unidades no siguen una estructura tan fija como Traveller.
Puntos fuertes:
El libro ha resultado muy bueno en la parte comunicativa -especialmente writing porque les introduce la tarea con ejercicio de speaking. Tambien me ha gustado las comprensiones lectoras y orales que cubren casi todos los temas del programa. Lo encuentro algo ambicioso en la parte de vocabulario aunque esto es positivo para los buenos alumnos. Saludos.
Esto es lo que me ha GUSTADO de Pioneer B2 Y C1, sobre todo para los alumnos que van a realizar exámenes de certificacion de la EOI o exámenes de Cambridge:
I’ve been using levels A1, A2 and B2. On the whole, I’d say I’m extremely happy with this series of books, not least because they give students ample opportunities to practice the grammatical structures and vocabulary of each unit at home. The presentation of phrasal verbs at level B2 is particularly successful, many students telling me how useful it’s been for them. One final point: the book is excellent value for money.
My view of your book is thoroughly positive. Its strong points include numerous reading passages at a higher level than we're accustomed to in works of this kind and a great variety of exercises. The fact that it forms part of a series makes it particularly suitable for use as a course book. I also greatly appreciated the ease of communication with the authors and their openness to suggestions.
The course contains carefully-chosen topics which appeal to the students at each level, holding their interest and motivation to learn English. I liked all the references to different links and pages on the Internet, I think using the Internet’s resources and the new technologies should become part of teaching English.
This is a very complete English course. Not only does it cover all the grammar points according to the Common European Framework at each level, but it is full of interesting texts and fun-to-do exercises. The grammar is laid out clearly in “Language Focus” and “Remember” windows throughout each book, which makes studying easier, and there is a useful Grammar and Pronunciation Reference at the back. There is also a fun story to follow throughout each book which students will love.
