Она же не соответствует требованиям оформления. Да и все таки это "не книги", а адаптированные для изучения английского, хотя смотрите, решайте сами быть или не быть этй теме.
А при том, что формат этих книг "адаптирован" для iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch,
ну и что с того, любой формат можно легко конвертировать, а на компьютере вообще не заметишь
суть то не в форме а в содержании, потому что изучающие английский ищут материал, а в каком виде это дело второстепенное
имхо правильнее разместить в ветке английского с пометкой для ipod, чем так вот, висит эта раздача как белая ворона среди обычных книг
А при том, что формат этих книг "адаптирован" для iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch,
ну и что с того, любой формат можно легко конвертировать,
Кому легко, а кому и не очень! Раздача замечательная! Я согласна, что именно тут ей место! Это же литературные произведения! Хоть и адаптированные.
Спасибо за раздачу! Качаю и остаюсь раздавать!
Спасибо большое! Не сразу нашел эту замечательную раздачу. Надо обязательно поместить на нее ссылку в разделе "Обучение иностранным языкам » Английский язык".
Ребят, а кто-нибудь видел такое же собрание Адаптированных книг от Oxford Bookworms только в письменном виде? Я имею ввиду Pdf,doc или еще что-то . Одним словом все те же книги в одном архиве но скажем в PDF. Я использую эти книги в процессе обучения своих учеников. Скажу, что из всего того, что я когда-либо пробовал - книги этого издательства, та разбивка по уровням, что делает данный "производитель" - я не видел ничего лучше. Эффект на лицо.

Спасибо за раздачу именно в таком формате. Кое-какие книги из выложенных здесь я уже скачивала из раздела Английский язык, там и pdf имеется, было бы неплохо дополнить эту раздачу текстами.
Отличная раздача, только найти ее трудно...
