Description
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.

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
