English Grammar Guide For first-year classes of English

Abstract

Teaching GRAMMAR is not an easy task for an in-service teacher because they should deliver correct grammar to their lesson takers. They should be aware of every grammatical rule to fit the standard academic English as they are teaching English for EAP. The book in hand is directed to both English classes and their teachers. The book is an attempt to collect the grammar rules of English language. It serves as a guide for grammar instruction at Biskra University, and for any student or teacher elsewhere. It includes grammar rules and a series of exercises accompanied with the key answers. These series of lessons were presented to First year classes of English language and literature of Biskra University. It also helps them internalise grammar and vocabulary. In other words, prescribing the grammar rules offers a potential for enhancing English language learning outcomes. It may also lead to a significant development in terms of their level of motivation, their involvement and their appreciation of reading texts and their written production. Grammar instruction can significantly increase the student’s levels and change the classroom dynamics in a positive way. Moreover, it provides a powerful pedagogic tool in learner’ communicative development for the EFL classrooms.
