Great for advanced EFL

This is the second year I've used this book with my 10th grade advanced English as a foreign language students here in Mexico. It's a great book for generating classroom discussion, essay assignments, cultural awareness, and critical thinking. The authentic readings are rich with important academic vocabulary, and the paraphrase exercises really help students learn to put ideas in their own words. I highly recommend this book for advanced, mature students at the high school or university level.
