This book offers a whole school approach to the teaching of grammar and punctuation that is fully matched to the demands of the English grammar and punctuation test and the new curriculum.  With the shift towards elegant, well-constructed sentences, it offers the busy teacher three simple steps to motivate and engage children, through: . explicit teaching and modelling; . over forty practical games and activities; . application and improvement within editing and proof reading.  This book draws on recent research but also is based on many years of classroom practice and a number of case studies. Practical examples develop teachers' understanding of grammatical terms and progression and show how it is possible to have a significant impact on vocabulary, sentence structure and children's writing in general.  A balance is found where skills are explicitly taught but within the context of an exciting and interesting curriculum.

Teaching Materials and the Roles of Efl/Esl Teachers is published amidst a decade long increase in academic publications and training courses concerned with the evaluation and design of English language teaching materials. It is timely to consider what effect the advice on offer has had on teachers' practice. Are teachers evaluating materials carefully, using textbooks in the ways expected by textbook writers, developing their own materials, and mediating between materials and learners in the ways advised in the professional literature?  The book explores these issues from a variety of perspectives. The views of publishers/textbook writers, those contributing to the professional literature, and teacher educators are synthesised to establish a 'theory' of how teachers can best fulfil their roles vis-Á -vis materials and learners. This is then compared with 'practice', as represented by published accounts of teachers' actual practices and learners...
