Publisher's Synopsis
A Concise Grammar for English Language Teachers excels at actually making grammar easy; easy to understand, easy to master, easy to apply in the classroom. Its underlying aim is to help teachers become au fait with the terminology used in modern ELT materials and to build confidence in their ability to explain grammar rules, both structural and functional, but without losing sight of the communicative and enjoyable aspects of teaching a foreign language.
The innovations of the first edition have been maintained, namely the A4 size, which readily accommodates the plentiful and highly commended tables of grammar items. It is also the first English teacher’s grammar to use ‘tree diagrams’ to show sentence constituents in full clarity. Other strengths include the excerpts from printed and online ELT materials, plus the many practical tips throughout.
