The series is designed for intermediate to advanced young adult and adult students. Researchers have long shown that learning in meaningful contexts can help English language learners become more fluent and improve vocabulary retention. TOP ESL books are the ideal learning tool for the classroom or independent study because they are immersive and fun, and unlike other books, they put students right in the driver's seat.

TOP ESL books offer not only a rich source of idiomatic expressions but also meaningful contexts of those expressions in action, and a reading format that will have English language learners hooked with cliffhangers and plot twists. TOP ESL books complement all types of curricula that promote engaged and self-directed learning.
