Grammar for English Language Teachers helps teachers to develop their overall knowledge and understanding of English grammar, and provides a quick source of reference in planning lessons and clarifying learners' problems. Each chapter includes a Typical difficulties section, which explores learners' problems and mistakes. The book encourages teachers to appreciate the range of factors which affect grammatical choices, but also introduces the 'rules of thumb' presented to learners in course materials. The Consolidation exercises provide an opportunity for teachers to test the rules against real language use and to evaluate classroom and reference materials. The book is organised thematically, but also provides a 'short cut ' index at the beginning for ease of reference. There is also a Cambridge ELT website with further chapter-by-chapter extension exercises to accompany the book.

The purpose of Grammar for Teachers is to encourage readers to develop a solid understanding of the use and function of grammatical structures in American English. It approaches grammar from a descriptive rather than a prescriptive approach; however, throughout the book differences between formal and informal language, and spoken and written English are discussed. The book avoids jargon or excessive use of technical terminology. It makes the study of grammar interesting and relevant by presenting grammar in context and by using authentic material from a wide variety of sources.

With clear, accessible language and practical, concrete examples from real writing and teaching situations, Grammar for Language Arts Teachers (GLAT) provides a contextualized and comprehensive overview of English grammar. Unlike other advanced grammar textbooks,GLAT has been developed for pre-service teachers "from the ground up."

Avoiding technical discussions that focus on terminology and overly subtle distinctions, GLAT is built upon straightforward instruction, lively examples, compelling exercises, and clear connections to classroom applications. GLAT is designed to not only broaden students' knowledge of English grammar, but also help students become better communicators, competent users of the English language, and more effective language arts teachers.
