ELTons 2018 finalists announced

Both titles have been selected as finalists by a panel of experts from among 110 international products, publications and services as meeting the stringent criteria for innovation and practical application.

Teaching Grammar: From Rules to Reasons by Danny Norrington-Davies is shortlisted in the innovation in teacher resources category.

The book outlines an alternative approach to teaching grammar in the language classroom. It explores what speakers and writers of English do with grammar, and how language students can be guided to discover what they mean.

Comprised of lesson materials, systematic lesson procedures, and discovery techniques, Teaching Grammar: From Rules to Reasons explores replication activities that can be incorporated into a syllabus and used as demonstration lessons. It aims to help teachers to develop their knowledge of grammar, provide a source of grammar lessons and instigate new ways of planning and organising lessons.
