CHAT - YES books? Tinta fresca

Hi Teachers!
To Argentinian teachers:
Is there anybody who is using books from Tinta fresca editorial? As you know I work in a rural school and I �m trying to find a good and cheap book for students. I �d like to chose two different ones: one for 1�,2� and 3� courses CBC, and other for bachiller, (3�,4�,5�) I have heard about tinta fresca, and I �d like to have opinions. Another book I like is What �s up but it much more expensive. It �s difficult for me to decide, because the school is going to give me the money to buy some books ( not for all sts. 5 or 6, no more) and I want to use it properly. What do you know about this? somebody told me that these books aren �t very attractive and a bit poor...  Thanks so much dears for always help me!!!!  |

I don �t know Tinta Fresca material, but I worked with "We can do it" from Richmond. The series is not as expensive as What �s up, and the extra material for teachers is great! (cd rom with plenty of activities). The nice thing about these books is that they are up-to-date material.
Hope this is useful for you!

Hi, Cely!!! I work in public secondary schools too. My students also face lots of financial and family problems that �s why I �m always looking for cheap material so that they can afford it; but attractive at the same time so as to catch their interest and attention.
This year I �m working with "Joyride" Santillana. I think it �s quite good and attractive; and it only costs $36..not soooo expensive.
Another excellent book is "For Teens" Longman but this one is much more expensive...it costs $67, but it �s much better and complete. It was especially written for Argentinian Public Secondary Schools. May be if you run photocopies... I sometimes do that, it �s the only way you can provide them with the material to work with.
Good luck!!!!
