A classic developmental skills text for lower-intermediate and intermediate English language learners, Fundamentals of English Grammar is a comprehensive reference grammar as well as a stimulating and teachable classroom text.
While keeping the same basic approach and material as in earlier editions, the fourth edition more fully develops communicative and interactive language-learning activities. Some of the new features are:
- Innovative Warm-Up exercises that precede the grammar charts and introduce points to be taught
- Structure-based listening exercises ranging from casual speech to more academic content
- A wide selection of readings that highlight the target grammar structures
- Greatly expanded speaking practice with extensive pair, group, and class work
- Writing activities with models for students to follow
- Corpus-informed syllabus that reflects the discourse patterns of spoken and written English
- Audio CDs and Listening Script in the back of the Student Book
