A Concise Grammar for English Language Teachers is the new edition of the highly popular 'A Grammar Course for TEFL Certificate'. This book is probably the only really user-friendly grammar for English teachers....a godsend for grammar-phobes.
Deals clearly and concisely with problem areas commonly encountered by teachers, e.g. tense recognition and usage, conditionals, auxiliary verbs, relative clauses, etc.
Includes many Teaching Notes with practical suggestions, plus a section on error analysis and correction demonstrating use of board drawings and pair-work.

Evaluating Children's Writing: A Handbook of Grading Choices for Classroom Teachers introduces and explains a wide range of specific evaluation strategies used by classroom teachers to arrive at grades and gives explicit instructions for implementing them. Samples of student writing accompany the instructions to illustrate the techniques, and an appendix of additional student writing is provided to allow readers to practice particular evaluation strategies.
More than just a catalog of grading options, however, this is a handbook with a point of view. Its purpose is to help teachers become intentional about their grading practices. Along with recipes for grading techniques, it offers a philosophy of evaluating student writing that encourages teachers to put grading into a communication context and to make choices among the many options available by determining the instructional purpose of the assignment and considering the advantages and disadvantages of particular grading strategies. Specific grading techniques are integrated with suggestions about the craft of evaluation--guidelines for instructional objectives, for student audience analysis, and for teacher self-analysis that help define communication contexts.

The Expanding Tactics for Listening Test Bookletis designed for unit-by-unit evaluation of students' mastery of the Student Book. (Midterm and final tests are available separately in Expanding Tactics for Listening Teacher's Book.) The tests may be given in a language laboratory or in a regular classroom with a CD player, and they are easily administered to large or small groups of students. Teachers may use the tests to assign grades or to identify areas where students need additional assistance. This test package includes photocopiable student test sheets, an answer key, and a tapescript of the tests. A CD on the inside back cover of the Test Booklet contains the recordings needed to administer the tests. The test items are based on the listening activities presented in the Student Book. To assess students' speaking ability, teachers may use the interviews, role plays, and other speaking activities in the Over to You sections of the Student Book.
