That said, almost anything that is head-on grammar-driven I find hard to swallow, so I'm strongly biased from the outset. It did not seem to fit in with any pedagogical or methodological methods I've come across in my brief 15 years of teaching at the college level. I would not recommend it for my program, but, like I said, its approach is unapalttable for me from the get-go. Someone who's more grammar-centered might find it a nice addition or side-bar to their curriculum.

I heard about this program in a conference. My chair is asking me if it is appropriate for college classes. If you do, could you please send me some activities?
