I think it is absolutely necessary for students
to have their own texts. Would any of us on this list
expect any less if we were to take a class in adult
school? How can someone learn a language without
appropriate and adequate texts?
Some months ago I sent this list copies of
bilingual texts by email, and some teachers actually
have used them in a multi-lingual setting. These email
texts are free, and if anyone would like copies,
please send me a message off list.
sincerely,
Paul Rogers
