Description

Practice Makes Perfect: Advanced English Grammar for ESL Learners is focused on a
select group of grammar topics that pose special problems for nonnative speakers.
These topics fall into two areas: 1) areas of grammar that are the source of
persistent error and 2) areas of grammar that are so complex that even advanced
nonnative speakers almost always avoid them.

Advanced English Grammar for ESL Learners focuses on just the most common
problems of advanced students not on all aspects of grammar so students quickly
zero in on what holds them back from fluency. The topics have also been picked
because the explanations and suggestions provided will enable ESL students to see
tangible improvement in these difficult areas. And as with all PMP books, students
can practice through exercises and reinforce their knowledge.

Key Selling Features

• Practice Makes Perfect Advanced Grammars focus on specific questions that

advanced language learners have about grammar
• Each topic is explained in detail, often going far beyond what would be found
in a more general coverage grammar book
• 775 exercises
• Mark Lester is an ESL expert in grammar who founded the highly respected
ESL department at the University of Hawaii. He authored the most popular
college classroom grammar in the country
