"Oxford Grammar for Schools" helps students develop a detailed understanding of grammar form and use in context, and inspires them to have fun with English through songs and games. The grammar is introduced or revised through easy to read tables and illustrated presentations with clear examples. The exercises build from simple concept check activities up to more communicative and productive skills based activities. In each unit there are several speaking activities where students work with each other to use English with improved accuracy and confidence. The extended writing activities also encourage students to use language in realistic situations.
Each unit begins with a "Can do" statement, which says what students will be able to achieve on completion of the unit. At the end of each unit is a self evaluation table. Students should be encouraged to rate their progress in each exercise, which helps them to take responsibility for their own learning and also increases motivation. At the end of the book there are five pages of extra information for the information gap activities, a word list with spaces for students to write their own translations, and a list of key verbs for them to learn.
Students can use the "Oxford Grammar for Schools" series in class with their coursebook to support an reinforce their grammar study. The Teacher's Book includes all the answers and audio scripts. There are also tests for every Student's Book unit, and four review tests which can be used at the end of a school term.
