Your chance to get the best* conversational English as a foreign language textbook for free

The Bulletin (Issue 46)

* I genuinely think Free Talk Conversation is the best general conversation textbook available for TEFL teachers and their adult students in Japan, sure I’m biased, but it’s objectively the best one that I’ve ever published. I use it because I can just pick it up and start teaching from it with zero prep, safe in the knowledge that it will help me deliver as good a lesson as I can. And I’m working on a second in the series, that should be out in April. But you be the judge....

Do you teach English to adults? Do you teach general conversation lessons? Are you finding it a bit tiresome getting good material to use? Or are you planning to teach at some point in the future and don’t know what (if any) textbook to use?

The Free Talk Conversation textbook, which I use with my adult intermediate and advanced students, is free to download from any Amazon site around the world until this Friday lunchtime or so (Japan time). I’ll be using the book as an example in future posts for how to self-publish your own textbook, so you might find it useful to download it now for free to have on your Kindle or phone.

So, if you have any interest in it at all, go ahead and download it now absolutely for free.

And that’s not all, the paperback version of the book (usual price ¥5,000) will be available at the same time for as low as I can set it — ¥1,399 — again until Friday lunchtime. If you like the ebook version and want to try the textbook with your students, pick up a few copies now before the price reverts to ¥5,000.

To download the book for free or buy the paperback at a reduced price: Click here for the Amazon.co.jp link, here for the Amazon.com link or here for the Amazon.co.uk link. If you like it, I’d really appreciate some stars and a review. Thank you!
