Molinsky, Bill Bliss, Richard E. Hill: Books Review: Excellent Book for Learning English Step by Step - This book is clear, well-organized, and easy to follow. The illustrations make each lesson engaging, and the conversations help reinforce everyday English. It’s great for improving vocabulary and building confidence in speaking. Highly recommended! Review: The Best Books for TEFL / TESL! - I started using these books with the first edition. I primarily have used them in EFL situations, whereas Molinsky and Bliss's Expressways series works best for ESL situations. I fell in love with them simply because they have a very indirect way of approaching grammar, so a teacher has freedom to emphasize grammar as much as wanted. Most other textbooks will have only one or two sample dialogs for practice. Side by Side usually has six or more. I found it easy to expand upon Side by Side dialogs by reversing an answer from positive to negative, changing the time-tense/aspect of a dialog. Because the books are based on a functional-notional approach for each chapter, it is also easy to expand upon the chapters in that way as well. Each chapter deals with certain topics in common life. Those topics can be expanded upon. It is easy to do pairwork as well as small group work with these books. The workbook complements the textbook very well, including a lot of extra contents for listening and speaking. The recordings that can go with the books are also very good, using a large variety of different people for the conversations. They are set up so that students can "repeat after me." By no means go without the teacher's book! While the student books can be used well by themselves, the teacher's books are fantastic sources of practical information about how to teach with Side by Side. The teacher's books make it easy for a new teacher to really develop practical skills and methods to teach, as well as for the more experienced teacher to expand skills with. I should mention that I have never met Steven Molinsky nor Bill Bliss. But I have had literally hundreds of students that were grateful that I found and learned to teach with Side by Side! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #470,540 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #723 in Writing Skill Reference (Books) #774 in English as a Second Language Instruction #811 in Reading & Phonics Teaching Materials | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (186) | | Dimensions | 8.2 x 0.4 x 10.6 inches | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 0130267570 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0130267573 | | Item Weight | 11.9 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | February 5, 2001 | | Publisher | Longman | ## Images ![Side by Side: Student Book 2, Third Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+hAWp4riL.jpg) ![Side by Side: Student Book 2, Third Edition - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41dzmSMP6EL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book for Learning English Step by Step *by N***N on November 20, 2025* This book is clear, well-organized, and easy to follow.

I use it with all of my students. I always supplement with a grammar book for charts and explanations, but I believe the philosophy behind the authors not including the grammar rules is that becoming conversant in a language is more important than understanding the rules behind the grammar. The workbooks is an excellent supplement to the textbook. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1200119-side-by-side-student-book-2-third-edition](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1200119-side-by-side-student-book-2-third-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
