Overview

ESL Radius is a living book series that I have edited. I have either written, co-written or curated (with permission) the information in the texts that cover all of the essentials for the courses that I teach. At the moment, there are three books in the series: grammar, reading, and writing.

Content & Difficulty Level

This text covers everything from the basics (for Level I courses) to advanced notions (for Level IV courses). Do not feel overwhelmed if you run into concepts that are beyond your level. This series was designed to grow with you as your English skills develop.  In other words, keep this reference.

Format, Portability, Printing & Photocopies

I have made the series available in a wide variety of formats: Microsoft Word (.docx),  OpenDocument Format (.odt), Rich Text Format (.rtf), PDF Document (.pdf), Plain Text (.txt), and Web Format (HTML).

If you choose the "formatted" version of a book, you will be able to select File → Download as and then choose from a variety of file formats.  Save a copy in the desired format.  You can also print this document once you have saved it or take a copy to a store (on a USB key or similar device) that prints copies.

A regular English course textbook costs about $50.  This document should cost you considerably less.  You can print (photocopy) this document at:
--The UPS Store
--Staples
--Copilab (Longueuil)
--or search for other places by entering "photocopies Montreal" in your preferred search engine. If you find a good place with good rates (e.g. $0.05 / page), please let me know and I will add the store to this list.

Navigation & Efficiently Finding Information

This electronic document has a few features that allow users to quickly find information that they need:

• An menu system to navigate through the various sections of the text;and
• A search function (the magnifying glass) to look for specific keywords.
