The Power Slam Grammar Book

Book excerpt: This book addresses the needs of senior school students (aged 11 and higher). Every lesson begins with the premise that, contrary to prevailing prejudices, grammar instruction can be the most profitable, pleasurable and exciting period in an ESL student's day. The 'Power Slam Grammar Book' is fun and many of the lessons are in the form of games, and the practice sentences reflect everybody's interest in movies, computers, video games, dating, sports etc. The exercises focus on students' primary needs: error correction of their writing and speech, and expansion of their range of expression, without requiring the memorising of grammar terminology. Finally, it's an excellent, high-energy complement to instructional material for the analysis of literature and popular media.
