Reflection of Book Touchstone 1

A textbook is a result of a work of a group of people that study what is the best for the students, considering this point people thinks that all the textbook are perfect but is not always the truth. Touchstone 1 is a textbook using in Chile in university to student can learn English easiest. In our evaluation of this textbook is that this book has the objectives and instruction very clear, and have activities after 3 activities and is very useful for the metacognition of the students.  It's very useful and all learning styles like kinesthetic activities, visual and auditory. It has a lack of cognitive tempo. Is to systematic . Is very easy to understand for students and for the teacher, and it has a lot of layouts. In conclusion , is not a perfect book , but is helping students to learn and practice the four skills and that is very close to the goal.
