'Grammar teaching has long been an important, albeit challenging, part of the second/foreign language teaching curriculum. Drawing on advancements in research on both English grammar and pedagogy in the past few decades, Professor Berry has produced a highly informative and practical book of pedagogical English grammar for everyone interested in grammar teaching. This book can serve as an excellent textbook for a pedagogical grammar course for both pre- and in-service teachers, as well as a reference book for all ESL/EFL educators.'
