Oxford English for Academic Purposes Upper-Intermediate Student's Book + DVD Pack (Oxford EAP)

With regard to the reading/writing elements of the book, I was generally happy with the lessons. My main misgiving concerns the approach taken to teaching the 'thesis statement'; the lessons do not encourage thesis statements that contain an actual claim (i.e. a proposition to be defended in the body of the essay), but rather they tend to settle for a simple statement of purpose and structural outline. To teach students to develop arguable claims as the main thrust of their writing, one needs to go beyond the materials in the book i.e. to teach this aspect of essay writing in spite of, rather than with the help of, the textbook.

Expensive.

I received the book before the arrival date, and it was exactly as described and I am very happy with the services and if I want a book again this seller is my first choice.

It helped me alot with my English. Highly recommended this book to the ones that are going to study abroad.

Essential reading for both undergraduates as well as post graduates .
