 Hot
English Magazine is produced by Hot English Publishing, which
is a local company that publishes an English learning magazine
and a bi-monthly resource pack called "Power Pack Online"
with about 8 listening / speaking activities per issue. With my
28 hours of class per week and an active webpage to run, if I
hadn't bought the adult resource pack for 250 euros per year,
I'd be toast just about now. (I think I could use a weekly issue.)
If you're still stuck on "Instant Ideas," I recommend
you make the switch. (Unless you're a stickler for overwhelming
the students with excessively repetitive and boring CNN and FOX
news reports.) In my experience, both my students and I enjoy
the material better and it's a lot cheaper.
