      Series Editor’s Preface

      The English Language Teacher (ELTD) series consists of a set of short resource books for ESL/EFL teachers that are written in a jargon-free and accessible manner for all types of teachers of English (native, nonnative, experienced, and novice). The ELTD series is designed to offer teachers a theory-to-practice approach to second language teaching, and each book presents a wide variety of practical approaches to and methods of teaching the topic at hand. Each book also offers reflections to help teachers interact with the materials presented. The books can be used in preservice settings or in in-service courses and by individuals looking for ways to refresh their practice. Now, after nearly 10 years in print, the ELTD series presents newly updated, revised editions that are even more dynamic than their first editions. Each of these revised books has an expanded number of chapters, as well as updated references from which various activities have been drawn and lesson plans for teachers to consider.

      William Crawford’s revised edition of Teaching Grammar again explores different approaches to how teachers can teach grammar in second language classrooms. He has added a chapter on designing writing assignments, updated the references and research, and added more reflective questions as well as new activities throughout the book, as well as detailed guidelines of teaching grammar with sample activities that teachers can consider. This revised edition is again a valuable addition to the literature in our profession.

      I am very grateful to the authors of the ELTD series for sharing their knowledge and expertise with other TESOL professionals to make these short books affordable for all language teachers throughout the world. It is truly an honor for me to work again with each of these authors for the advancement of TESOL.

      CHAPTER 1

      Introduction

      Teaching grammar is, in some ways, very different from teaching reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The most obvious reason for this is that grammar is an important component in all language skills. In any language, using language without some knowledge of how words combine to form larger units of language is nearly impossible. Lacking such knowledge makes interacting with other people, giving a presentation, reading a book or article, or writing an essay very difficult. From this perspective, both receptive (reading, listening) and productive (speaking, listening) skills depend on knowledge of grammar.
