Grammar in Use

Grammar in Use

            Grammar in use series are one of the best books relates to grammar. I strongly recommend this book to any teacher or learner of English. There many reasons for my recommendation but I will only narrow it to three reasons.

First, the book is written in a simple and clear way. In other words, it’s a self-learning book. This point is good for teacher because when they have a difficulty in any unit of their course book they can refer to this book and it will simplify the confusion that he have. While for students they can at home revise any part of the grammar lesson from this book because its designed to let them learn by themselves.

The book is rich of details and examples. So, if you want many examples at any topic you can take it from this book and it also explain every example. Also, if there are many exceptions for any rule it will show you all the exception cases and provide examples for it.

Finally, the series provides an appropriate language for each stage. That means if you are an advanced students the examples that you will have is equal to your language proficiency. I believe this is an important part, because when you teach for example beginners and give them a difficult example that have advanced vocabulary you will waste time in explaining the words instead of explaining the rule its self.

In conclusion, any teacher or learner of English language should have grammar in use book in his library. It’s a simple book with that have many examples and detail information. Therefore, it’s very useful

Do You Think It's Better To Teach With Technology or With TraditionalBooks

GRAMMER:

I thought that studying through books and do some paper exercises is easier, but I have visited http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/ which contain many useful grammar rules ,and it was a great . This website has helped me clarifying some of my grammatical mistakes which I always do. Also it makes the studying much easier because I can choose directly what rule I want to revise or learn, and while I am reading, I can click on any of an understandable terms that I might face. The website also has various exercises depending on the chosen level and category.

Another helpful website that I have visited and enjoyed is http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/determiners-and-quantifiers because of its simplicity and it well organized. Comparing these websites with books, I can say I prefer study and teach with technology rather than traditional books and materials. In addition, I can visit these websites wherever and whenever I want because of smart phones which everyone has nowadays.

     The importance of learning through computers needed for everybody. English Club is one of the best in teaching grammar, because of content, simplicity, and professionalism. Therefore, as long as, I am going to be English Instructor, this website will help me very much.

     The website is useful. It has many quizzes to check the level of English Language for the user. So, it is really interesting one.

      First of all, the verb item on the website is seen, it is really helpful one. it classifies the verb in English Language into two main points, the first one is the Main verb, such as, help, play, eat, and many others, the second verb is Helping verb, such as, is, are. Personal Speaking, it is important and nourished for any learner.

     As for Parts of Speech, it is wonderful idea, that the website has arranged the Parts of Speech into 8 important categories Instead of Determiners the owners of the website has chosen Interjections. These Categories are:

1- Verbs: work, have, do

2- Nouns: man, town, music

3- Adjectives: big, smart, empty

4- Adverbs: loudly, well, often

5- Pronouns: you, ours, we

6- Prepositions: at, on, in

7- Conjunctions: and, but, or

8- Interjections: um, dear, ah 

     For my opinion, the website general speaking is acceptable, but it has to be updated for some ideas, because the are many advanced users could log in to check up what is going on.

Cambridge Grammar Of English

    

   Grammar in English has many books , CAMBRIDGE GRAMMAR OF ENGLISH by Ronald Carter and Michael Mccarthy is one of the best in this science , its four chapters book What is grammar ? , What is the Cambridge Grammar of English ? , Grammar and corpus data, and How CGE is organised .its rich book almost 970 pages and comes with CD , its Cambridge international corpus .

What makes this book special is when i studied at college I faced some difficulties regard grammar and tenses , but when I read the book i found it easy to read and simple, you can find a lot of exercises at the end of each unit , and the definitions are short and direct, i studied for five  years and I can say that this book helped me to finish my grammars problem , the idea of the book is that you find any information you require simply and fastly , all the information divided into a separate section , for example when you looking up for a new word you can go directly to the Index at the end of the book and find the meaning there .

Finally, Cambridge Grammar Of English is very useful book for English second language as it is for the native speakers , I advise all my friend to read the book and put it in there stand book and use it to build there language and fix there grammar .
