Fundamentals of English Grammar
Fundamentals of English Grammar is a developmental skills text for lower-intermediate and intermediate students of English as a second or foreign language. It combines clear and understandable grammar information with a variety of exercises and activities. Fundamentals of English Grammar is the second in a series of three texts: Basic English Grammar (red cover), Fundamental of English Grammar (black cover), and Understanding and Using English Grammar (blue cover).
The principal aims of all three texts in this series are to present clear, cogent information about English grammar and usage, to provide extensive and varied practice that encourages growth in all areas of language use, and to be interesting, useful, and fun for student and teacher alike. The approach is eclectic, with the texts seeking to balance form-focused language-learning activities with abundant opportunities for engaged and purposeful communicative interaction.
Grammar Series texts support the view of many experienced teachers that grammar-based and communicative approaches are not murually exclusive, but rather mutually supportive, and can advantageously co-exist in the same language program, even in the same class, even in the same lesson.
Similarly, the interactive aspects of the texts receive greater emphasis in the third editions. Many of the exercises formerly designated ORAL or ORAL (BOOKSC LOSED) are now reformatted to be more clearly available for pair work or group work, in addition to still being viable as class work led by a teacher. This edition of Fundamentals of English Grammar encourages interactivity but leaves it open for the users to decide what degree of interactivity best suits their needs.
There is now an even wider variety of exercise types. This edition has a much larger number of free-response exercises and open-ended communicative tasks, while still providing ample controlled-response exercises to aid initial understanding of the form, meaning, and usage of the target structures. It also includes more writing topics, more speaking activities, new error-analysis exercises in every chapter, and are presented in Understanding and Using English Grammar.
The accompanying Teacher's Guide is written for both experienced andinexperienced teachers. It contains amplified grammar notes the teacher mightwant to present to the class or will find useful as background information. Itoutlines various ways of approaching the materials in the classroom and frequently suggests fresh teaching ideas for individual exercises beyond the directions in the text. It seeks to share with the teacher an understanding of the rationale behind the text's content and approaches. Its principal purpose is to make the busy teacher's job easier.
