The purpose of this book is mainly for those who have been away from the English classroom for quite some time and may feel that their competence in the English language has become a bit 'rusty.' They therefore need to 'brush up' on their English and consolidate what they have previously learned. Although a wide variety of skills and competencies will be encompassed by the users of this book, it is nevertheless presumed that the students who approach its course material will already have a reasonable grasp of the English language, and thus will not be raw beginners. Notwithstanding the presumption that students taking this course are at least of the post-beginner level, the author has endeavoured to ensure that this book is user-friendly, and trusts that students will have an enjoyable and pleasant journey through its pages. While the course is based on three levels - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced, with each unit corresponding to one teaching session, the contact timing is entirely flexible. The teaching sessions herein displayed are purely for reasons of administrative convenience. Likewise, the 32 hours assigned to each level is purely recommendatory.

This book covers a wide variety of topics over a large cosmopolitan area embracing diverse cultural backgrounds. The purpose of this book is to provide for university aspirants the broad horizons they will need to make their experience of education at its highest level the most fruitful and rewarding. This publication will include a student's book and a workbook; the workbook will give student's the chance to work independently and at their own pace after the corresponding material has been covered in the student's book. Is this book for English language students only? The simple answer to this question is 'no.' Students of whatever discipline they may be engaged in studying, should have a reasonably extensive knowledge of the world around them. That world is becoming smaller due to both the speed of communications, transport, and the greater frequency of international movements of peoples and races, It is the author's hope after the students have diligently worked their way through the student's book and workbook, they will have experienced an adventure which will have whetted their appetites for the greater adventures which lie ahead for them in their future.

This book is essentially a sequel to Francis A. Andrew's earlier book, "Who Said English Grammar Was Boring?" The "sequel" begins by devoting a few chapters to some grammar points and continues with explanations and examples of twenty three essay types. As well as example essays, each unit provides reading passages which are unrelated to the essay type. The reason for this is to encourage students to read widely and thus to see reading and writing as interconnected and inter-related skills.

This book combines grammar with English for Specific Purposes ( ESP football ) to make the process of English language learning more fun and enjoyable for students by providing an appropriate context and specific settings with which they are familiar and to which they can relate.

The world of education is full of grammar books. For most teachers and students of foreign languages, grammar books are generally dry and dusty and only to be consulted on a reference basis. However, Who Said English Grammar Was Boring? is not your conventional grammar book. Its core dynamic is based upon a conversation between the author and an English language instructor colleague. Apart from being an exposition of English grammar, the book also incorporates advice on teaching methodology and practice exercises for students. Apart from focusing on the four key areas of language learning--reading, writing, listening, and speaking--the book introduces another concept in the form of a practicum, which asks the students to take turns in giving a lesson to their classmates on what they have learned. It is hoped that this book will serve to take the monotony out of grammar learning.
