The Grammar Book: An ESL/EFL Teacher's Course, Second Edition

Customer Reviews:

Lucid and comprehensive

By Srebrenica Forever - February 5, 2003

I recently purchased this book and I can sincerely say that THE GRAMMAR BOOK is a well-written and well-structured book. Written primarily for ESL/EFL teachers as well as students, it contains every imaginable aspect of english grammar. Mastering english grammar has never been easier, even though I am not implying that it will not require a tremendous amount of effort on your side to master the advanced elements of grammar. None the less, as with everything else in life, being really good at something takes hard work and perseverance. THE GRAMMAR BOOK will dramatically improve your grammatical skills. Marianne Celce-Murcia uses simple terminology in her book in order to facilitate comprehension of difficult grammatical concepts. Even though the book is comprehensive, it nevertheless is lucid and accessible. Practising but especially prospective ESL/EFL teachers should find this book highly useful. Furthermore, advanced students of english as a foreign/second language should benefit... read more

Excellent book for ESL teachers

By Eric Regener - October 6, 2010

This book has been a classic reference on English grammar, structure and usage ever since the 1983 first edition. It is comprehensive, thorough, and clear. The organization of the topics is a model for teaching. For my own ESL teaching I frequently look here for detailed explanations and examples which can be found nowhere else. The second edition has updated the grammar treatment according to the latest theory, is even more methodical than the first edition, and introduces valuable new topics.

Now pay attention, because you might not want this book at all! It's a technical reference book for English teachers with good prior training. Before you spend a lot of money on it, make sure it's what you want! Don't expect it to be something it has no intention of being. It's not a textbook for learners, and it's not for casual readers, beginners, or ESL students. People with no training in linguistics or grammar will find it above their level, so be warned! There are many more... read more

The "why" of English, in detail

By T. Harris "http://talkaboutquality.wordpress.com" - October 24, 2006

You don't have to be a teacher of English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) to use this book. You do have to be very interested in how to write and speak correct English, and in exceptions to rules and the patterns behind them. The book is more than a desk reference, but not meant to be read cover-to-cover. The curious reader can open at almost any chapter and learn something new about daily English usage. The authors assume knowledge of some grammatical terms -- look them up in a dictionary as needed (I did). Multiple indexes allow you to find explanations both by topic and by word.
