Keys to Teaching Grammar to English Language Learners, Second Ed.: A Practical Handbook

Needed this book for my MA TESL and kept it. It's a great quick reference as an ESL teacher. It does not cover everything that comes up, but most all the common grammatical issues ESL students have. Contains great examples and charts.

Great resource for ESL instructors. This book has great explanations of grammar points and provides helpful insights of mistakes commonly made by English Language Learners. Folse's creation of 15 Grammar Keys provide essential helps for ESL teachers. This book plus the Betty Azar grammar books provide a great start to a teacher's grammar resource library. These books are especially helpful for those teachers who may feel less confident in presenting grammar and answering difficult ELL questions about the English grammar system. The chapter on specific teaching techniques is very valuable. As a textbook, it is very readable and not a "dry" read.

This book is incredible. It's direct and explains things in a way for teachers to understand need a reference for when students ask a tough grammar question. I highly recommend keeping this book around in class for when there's a grammar question that needs a quick answer. It's straightforward and you can easily find what you're looking for. The book is lightweight even though it has a lot of pages.

As a community volunteer, teaching ESL beginning English to Adult learners, I have found this book to be a wonderful resource. Not only has it helped me relearn long forgotten grammar rules I believe the book has helped me become a better teacher. The book gives tips on what to teach and when, help in explaining the grammer rules to my students, and clear, concise information.

Great book with practical application! Used it for passing Praxis for ELL! Great applications to teaching English Language Learners class!

Although Celce-Murcia and Azar are really the best books in terms of being comprehensive in their approach, this book, on the other hand, focuses on what the teacher needs to know in the classroom of ELL's. It is simply the best book I have come across for teaching grammar. I actually got this copy for a friend. I have been using this book for years.

Excellent resource to learn and teach ELLs grammar.

There are an unusually large number of typographical errors in this publication. Not good for a grammar book. But the content is solid and well worth knowing.

A great book to think about how to teach grammar in a communicative, clear and easy way. The book contains not only grammar explanation, but also ieas on how to teach students of different level and cultural background.
