Reviews

What’s the best thing about English File. “The interesting topics discussed, the grammar exercises, the listening activities, the videos from the new versions...I’ve been teaching for 22 years and the English File books are the best ones I’ve ever worked with!
Melyssa Vaz, Teacher

“I have always enjoyed working with English File…and I think I always will!”
Marina Soares Nunes, Teacher

“One idea that came from my students was, every time I use the videos from the Practical English section, I get the students to act out the videos. They like learning the language in a fun way.”
Alberto Costa, Teacher (for 27 years)

“Students have the chance to practice all skills in one lesson – obviously the teacher can emphasise one aspect or another, however, the skills are covered!”
Elaine de F. Andrade, Teacher

“With English File, all of the topics include something up to date.”
Marina Soares Nunes, Teacher

  • Media-rich – Motivate your students with compelling visual content including videos, interactive info-graphics and striking photography on culturally diverse topics.
  • Flexible – Reorder content and decide how and when you want to assign homework: ideal for differentiated learning.
  • Adaptable – Create your own new content to meet the needs of your students, including your own speaking and writing tasks, tests, discussions and live chat, and uploading videos, audio, or powerpoint presentations.
