“Language, Linguistics, and Development Simplified” is designed for students and aspiring professionals who seek to understand English grammar beyond rote memorization. We address common questions such as why there are two future tenses, the role of auxiliaries, the challenge of English motion verbs, and the importance of determiners.
Our textbook supports student learning with numerous exercises, chapter summaries, and further reading suggestions. An accompanying website offers additional resources and interactive opportunities with the author. This essential grammar toolkit is perfect for English language and linguistics students and future teachers of English as a Second Language.
Written in consultation with students, this book caters to those preparing for careers in TESOL, TEFL, or TESL programs, as well as those studying communication, journalism, linguistics, and applied linguistics. While a background in linguistics or phonetics can be helpful, it is not a prerequisite for using this book.
