Rezensionen

"This book - part of a series co-published with the National Association for the Teaching of English - takes into account the latest standards and expectations, but thoughtfully contextualises them within the bigger picture of what students genuinely need to know, and why, before suggesting creative and relevant ways to improve learners' language skills across the curriculum. It's positive, inspiring and enormously sensible - if you only read one book about teaching grammar this year, make it this one. And if you weren't planning on reading any; change your mind."
