"...a flexible cocktail of grammar, language skills and lexical programme which will appeal to a wide range of learner types"
English Teaching Matters, Germany
"These are the first books I have come across where there is a special focus on writing SMS text messages, on buying goods on-line, on distinguishing different genres, etc. There is a lot of educational potential in these books as well. The information about the Great Pyramid, the Titanic, Thomas More, the Roman Army, etc. helped not only to brush up grammar but also to enrich and broaden my students' outlook. Some extra data about life in Great Britain, samples of surveys, library rules and diagrams gave us a closer look at your culture and mentality.
To sum up, I'd like to recommend these books to all teachers who would like to make their lessons more productive and compelling, and to help their students be more enthusiastic and eager to learn English in and out of the classroom."

"In brief, this 'Just' series is very useful in an ESOL learning environment where differentiation is important. I like the fact that there is separate material for specific skills which lends itself to being used to support students with individual needs both on individual and group basis."

"I really would like to use these four books as they give you the freedom to pick & choose, catering to needs & interests, with the bits that you don't cover being completed as self study...a learner-centred approach.
As self-study materials, they are self explanatory & learner friendly...ideal to recommend when using a lopsided coursebook or a student asking you for supplementary material.
These books would be ideal when working with 1-1 classes & it would also appeal to the more mature class such as the corporate-based class.
To sum up, this is certainly one of the ways forward in the provision of course materials. Definitely worth checking out."

"...a bold attempt at integration, offering materials which not only complement each other but also may be used in class or for self-study purposes... [the] Grammar is explained clearly...The language of explanation is carefully graded...
An excellent set in all respects and highly recommended."

"Just Grammar...this is unashamedly pure grammar - basic, useful, succinct, intermediate level without oversimplification or the fancy bits.
The Just series is a must for all teachers...It is flexible and once you find your way around it you can adapt your course to suit the students, whatever next week holds in store."
English Teaching Matters
"The Just Series by Jeremy Harmer is an upbeat collection in four volumes...topics are contemporary...The texts and activities are culturally sensitive, which would make these books ideal for learners in the Gulf region. The quirky artwork, clarity of instructions and original use of text types also add to its appeal.
Final verdict
The activities are attractively presented with good use of colour text boxes and photographs. This, combined with the varied and interesting texts, will do much to encourage learners to study independently. Whether you are looking for an easy-to-use addition to a self-access centre, a set of fresh course books, or supplementary materials to motivate your students, the Just series could be Just what you need."
