Review
'The organisation is the first thing that hits you about this book. It's different. And refreshingly so. Grammar for English Language Teachers speaks with admirable simplicity without ever being condescending or shallow. In fact some of the explanations are the most accurate and easy to understand I have ever seen in any grammar book. There's a feeling of integrity and honesty towards both the language and the teacher which leaps off the page. Grammar for english Language Teachers … would be valuable addition to any keen teacher's box of tricks. Ten out of ten. Well done!' The TEFL Farm

'When summing up typical difficulties for learners, Martin Parrott proves that he knows what he is talking about from the perspective of a real classroom envoironment....for prospective and practising teachers and teacher trainers, I consider the book an invaluable bank of ideas, tasks and inspiration for developing language awareness of their students and their own.' English Department, Faculty of Education, Technical University of Liberec, Czech Republic

'Grammar for English Language Teachers is a refreshingly new type of grammar reference book for practising teachers as well as trainees.' English Language Teaching News, Austria, 2001

Superb English/EFL Teachers Grammar Reference Book.
An excellent resource, which all teachers of the English language, EFL or otherwise, should give serious consideration to. Every grammatical point is extensively covered in detail (514 pages) with each area of grammar being explained expansively and broken down in it's component parts, which further outlines specific teaching points such as construction and use.

The format of the book is also excellent with an abundance of clear sub-headings, which include Key Considerations, What Is..., Consolidation Exercises, and Difficulties For Learners sections. The layout is also good and easy on the reader with large sections of text broken up with tables and bullet pointed lists and examples.

Most serious English language teachers will probably own more than one grammar refrence book, while others, such as new teachers, may only own a single book. Either way, and regardless of which category you should fall into, this book should be given serious consdideration to anyone looking to invest in a good quality grammar reference book.

Good for intermediate and above
A book for those with already a good grasp of english grammar as the language and order does not aim for the beginner. I give up after a few pages when words were thrown in with no prior explanation. A good book but for the already practising and experienced teacher of grammar.
