While highly recommended for ESL/EFL teachers, the collection is also appropriate for teachers of English language arts."

The anthology is divided into three sections: the role of grammar in language teaching, specific practices in the grammar classroom and some current research on grammar structures. The authors, including such well-known lights in the field as Jack Richards, Sandra Fotos, Diane Larsen-Freeman, Peter Master, come from a range of perspectives and backgrounds, reinforcing the variety of teaching theory and practice in play today."

Instructors and instructors-in-training in particular will appreciate the pedagogical implications and teaching suggestions provided at the end of each chapter."
