The Teacher's Guide to Grammar

First, it makes the assumption that what teachers need to know about grammar is not limited to what the national curriculum requires them to teach about it. Clearly, teachers do need to be equipped with the knowledge they are expected to pass on to pupils, but in these pages I will try to demonstrate that an understanding of language structure is relevant not only for teaching grammar itself, but also for teaching writing, spelling, reading, literature, and media. It can also assist teachers in making informed and systematic assessments of pupils' language development, as part of the ongoing activity of monitoring their learning.

Writing with Children (Resource Books for Teachers)

There is a quantum leap between acquiring the ability to speak and understand a language and learning to read and write it. Writing is not a natural activity in the way that speaking is. Many children experience difficulty in crossing the bridge from oral competence to literacy, even in their first language. In a foreign or other language the problems are that much greater. This book offers an approach to developing the complex set of cognitive and motor skills needed if children are to be able to write in the foreign language. The approach is carefully gradual, offering teachers a rich array of activities for developing literacy skills.

Grammar for Young Learners (Resource Books for Teachers)

This book is meant for primary and secondary teachers who wish to teach grammar to their 6 to 13-year-old learners in a fun and non-threatening way. It is suitable for both native and non-native teachers.The material can supplement course book activities; the activities conform to the grammar syllabus as outlined in CEF and Cambridge exams for young learners. The book steers a middle course between grammar-based and communicative approaches to teaching: meaning is the main focus of all language teaching and grammar is an intrinsic part of this.
