Well, here is the chronology of popular books on General English in Iran:
1) mid1950s - 1970s = Direct Method (this is the name of a series of books, not the method itself)
2) 1980s = chaos!!
3) Early 1990s = Headway
4) Late 1990s = New Streamline
5) 2000 - today = New Interchange (by Jack. C. Richards)

New streamline is abandoned by Iranian English institutes, but Headway is still being taught.

Which of the books- 1/2/3?

[Donbelid]

Well, I'd like to have your comment about my article... (under each article, there is a button called comment)

The method I've suggested, I think, is suitable for "intro/1/2/3".
