Preface to the Third Edition

Fundamentals of English Grammar is a developmental skills text for lower-intermediate and intermediate students of English as a second or foreign language It combines clear and understandable grammar information with a variety of exercises and activities

FundammtaLF of English Gmmmar is the second in a series of three texts: Bmic English

, Gmmmar (red cover), Fundamentak ofEnglish Grammar (black cover), and Understanding and Using English Grammar (blue cover)

.I The principal aims of all three texts in this series are to present clear, cogent

information about English grammar and usage, to provide extensive and varied practice that encourages growth in all areas of language use, and to be interesting, useful, and fun

for student and teacher alike The approach is eclectic, with the texts seeking to balance form-focused language-learning activities with abundant opportunities for engaged and purposeful communicative interaction

The new editions of the texts in the Azar Grammar Series include these changes:

The communicative aspects are more fully developed and explicit in the third

editions This edition of Fundamentals of English Grammar includes a greatly

increased number of "real communication" opportunites for the teacher to exploit The text often uses the students' own life experiences as context and regularly introduces topics of interest to stimulate the free expression of ideas in structured as well as open discussions

The Azar Grammar Series texts support the view of many experienced teachers that grammar-based and communicative approaches are not murually exclusive, but rather mutually supportive, and can advantageously co-exist in the same language program, even in the same class, even in the same lesson

Similarly, the interactive aspects of the texts receive greater emphasis in the third editions Many of the exercises formerly designated ORAL or ORAL (BOOKS CLOSED)

are now reformatted to be more clearly available for pair work or group work, in addition to still being viable as class work led by a teacher This edition of

FundammtaLF of English Gmmmar encourages interactivity but leaves it open for the users to decide what degree of interactivity best suits their needs

There is now an even wider variety of exercise types This edition has a much larger number of free-response exercises and open-ended communicative tasks, while still providing ample controlled-response exercises to aid initial understanding of the form, meaning, and usage of the target structures It also includes more writing topics, more speaking activities, new error-analysis exercises in every chapter, and

xiii

additional extended-context exercises Classroom teaching materials formerly found in the Wrkbook are now included in this student text, with the Wrkbook devoted solely to self-study exercises The Wrkbook has a variety of practice , approaches for independent study

A specific change in this edition of Fundamentah of English Grammar is the two Appendices, one with phrasal verbs and one with preposition combinations Rather than asking students to study a whole chapter of these phrases at one time, the text uses appendices to present them in smaller groupings for teachers to intersperse throughout the teaching term Another specific change is the omission of conditional sentences, which are presented in Understanding and Using English Grammar

The accompanying Teacher's Guide is written for both experienced and inexperienced teachers It contains amplified grammar notes the teacher might want to present to the class or will find useful as background information It outlines various ways of approaching the materials in the classroom and frequently suggests fresh teaching ideas for individual exercises beyond the directions in the text It seeks to share with the teacher an understanding of the rationale behind the text's content and approaches Its principal purpose is to make the busy teacher's job easier
