The ELT Grammar Book: A Teacher-Friendly Reference Guide (Alta Teacher Resource Series)

At long last English language teachers have what they've been waiting for--a "professional friend" to give a helping hand at all times! A great deal more than a grammar book, this new resource explores areas of the language that teachers have found troublesome to understand, hard to explain, and challenging to demonstrate to students. Its down-to-earth, reader-friendly format gives a fresh, new way of looking at complex material, in turn preparing teachers to communicate better and give more effective examples to students. The 22 chapters explore word order, articles, present, past, and future tenses, the overlooked uses of some and any, modal auxiliaries, prepositions, genitives, compound nouns and adjectives, passives and causatives, direct object companions, two-and three-word verbs, subjunctives, conditional sentences, the role of stress and intonation to convey meaning, and more! You'll find valuable information that you've never seen in other grammar reference books!Richard Firsten is the author of 'The ELT Grammar Book: A Teacher-Friendly Reference Guide (Alta Teacher Resource Series)', published 2002 under ISBN 9781882483907 and ISBN 1882483901.
