Basic English Grammar: A Guide for New and Prospective ESL Teachers: CELTA Preparation (ESL Resources for New and Prospective Teachers Book 1)

Great eBook! As a homeschooling mom, I can never have enough books around for the kids to read. This was a great addition to our collection!

This is my second year teaching English language acquisition. I work with middle and high school students from various backgrounds (German, Japanese, Turkish, Italian, etc.). This book is well-organized and includes just enough explanation to help me explain some oddities of English. I find the chapters on tenses especially helpful.

This book was very helpful. I was thrown into the deep end where I was expected to teach English to a group of six Spanish adults. i was expecting them to be all beginners, but of course they weren't. So, this book really helped to refresh my memory on all the basic grammar a ESL teacher should know.

like it.

This is concise and extremely useful. A real asset for anyone teaching English language classes or undertaking a CELTA / TESOL / TEFL course.

Terrible. A book about teaching English with a bunch of mistakes. Are you serious?Example: "She used to drink gin everday." Hmm. Are you sure that shouldn't be "every day"?In illustrating the apostrophe "s" for possession, we get the lovely example: "'The cat," becomes 'the cats." Where'd that apostrophe go?Then we have lovely sentences like this:"As long as your students have a firm grasp of the present perfect and future simple tenses then it should present no problems as long as they are at the correct language level."Did they even proofread this junk? Another sad example of the lack of quality of so many Kindle and print books these days.

This is a useful and unintimidating book that provides simple introductions to the main grammatical rules of the English language. I found the explanation of tenses particularly useful. This book can be an especially useful and cost-effective starting point if learners use it in conjunction with free online recourses.

The word "Basic" led me to believe there would be a review of basics such as basic definitions and examples of things like antonyms, synonyms, homophones, .....However, there is some decent coverage of the very basics for those of us who are new to ESL teaching and who haven't reviewed grammar in many years.....

Very basic, very short guide to the tenses used in English. I was expecting more in depth information and tips on how to teach the differences between the tenses, but the information on this was very scarce and not very practical. I suppose you get what you pay for.

Product was on time and as expected

very useful
