EveryBody says AZAR is the Best! I am new to Teaching ESL and/or EFL but every authority I have encountered says anything by Azar is great! Everything else you need, like ESL games, can be gotten free on the WEB; is also stated!
Always a favorite The Black Azar is always a favorite book for intermediate ESL students. Very interactive for a grammar book.
Fundamentals of English Grammar I teach English as a second language and use this book in my advanced classes. The lessons are in logical order allowing the student to progress from the simple to the more complex with ease. Although the county provides this book free of charge, my students were so enthusiastic about it that they all bought their own copies. Even native English speakers could learn a great deal from this excellent text.
excellent resource The exercises in this workbook are well targeted to help students with specific issues in English grammar, issues students commonly meet. The exercises encourage thinking in English instead of translating.
Ya either luv it or hate it At UC Berkeley, when I first started, several teachers recommended this book to me. I perused it and used it for the next 16 years - when the program was closed. The large number of exercises, the charts that really show how the verbs function (for visual learners), and the oral exercises (for aural learners and reinforcement) were invaluable. Even now, I sometimes refer to it for answers and ideas in specific areas. However, I must say that two teachers with whom I worked, really disliked this book, and never used it. But, 2 out of 28, still puts it pretty high on the list as far as I am concerned. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. P.S. It is the mid-level book of a 3-book series. The other two are also excellent!
