Focus on Grammar, in its new fourth edition, maintains the proven pedagogy that makes it the most popular contextualized grammar series worldwide. Its unique four-step approach takes students from context to communication — blending content, reading, writing, listening, speaking and critical thinking in a complete program, and preparing students to understand and use English more effectively.
Â
Centered on thematic instruction Focus on Grammar allows students to interact with grammar in realistic contexts and moves them beyond controlled practice to authentic communication.
Â
New features include:Â
- Updated high-interest readings in multiple genres that expose students to the form, meaning, and use of grammar in natural contexts.
- Key vocabulary is taught, practiced, and recycled throughout each unit, to ensure acquisition.
- Fully redesigned grammar charts and notes that provide greater clarity.
- Explicit pronunciation activities to improve fluency and accuracy.
- Expanded listening tasks allow students to develop a range of listening skills.
- Flexible, ongoing assessment — including unit reviews, diagnostic and achievement tests, and test-generating software — allows students to monitor their own progress and teachers to track students’ mastery. (Test and test-generating software available in the Teacher’s Resource Pack)
