<DIV>Dear Alex,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes I guess you're right suggesting that Touchstone doesn't offer DDL
techniques, but I thought the series deserves mention because it does
qualify for the labes DDL material. (and because of it thoroughly being based
on, or informed by, a corpus it is no doubt a milestone in the history of EFL
textbooks).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, the corpus the series is based on is not the ICE as I wrongly stated
but the CIC (Cambridge International Corpus). Sorry for this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best</DIV>
