Accordingly, each chapter includes a list of further reading, as well as a set of practice exercises for revision of the materials presented.Across the chapters, there a comprehensive introduction to the many morpho-syntactic structures which characterise English grammar, with outlines of relevant theories and practices for the teaching of these structures.In this way, the book effectively synthesises frameworks for both the learning and teaching of English as a foreign language.
