A Grammar Development Course For American Teachers Of EFL/ESL
by Jeff Mohamed

Packed with 112 large (8.5" X 11") pages of clear explanations and useful exercises, this self-study course is specially designed to help American teachers to improve their practical knowledge of grammar. It enables teachers of EFL/ESL to learn essential grammatical terminology and to become familiar with: major verb tenses; the relationship between tenses, time and function; and a range of key grammatical structures and features (modal auxiliaries, conditionals, reported speech, phrasal verbs, etc.). Each exercise is accompanied by a detailed answer key and commentary. Completion of the exercises requires approximately 25-30 hours.

Unlike other EFL/ESL grammar books, this one includes a section on simple yet effective ways to teach grammar. The approaches which are covered and for which sample lesson plans are provided include: PPP (Presentation-Practice-Production), Test-Teach-Test and Discovery.

Designed for everyone who needs to improve his/her knowledge of American grammar, the book will be equally invaluable to those who intend to teach without formal TEFL/TESL training and those who plan to take a CELTA or other TEFL/TESL certificate course. It will also be useful for experienced native and non-native speaking teachers who want to improve their practical knowledge of American English grammar.

"A Grammar Development Course For American Teachers Of EFL/ESL" is available only from English International. Because it is a self-study course, the book is produced in ring-binder form to allow teachers to add their own notes. (To reduce mailing costs, Canadian and overseas customers will receive the course materials without the ring-binder.)

"For developing your own grammatical awareness and knowledge of terminology Jeff Mohamed's 'Grammar Development Course for North American Teachers of EFL/ESL' is excellent. I made it required pre-course reading on the CELTA courses I ran last year and the majority of candidates found it extremely useful. Incidentally, if you are not North American, don't be put off by the title. The differences in grammar between American and British English are very few."
Dominic Braham, Berlin School of English (posted on Dave's ESL Cafe 2/2/04)
