English Grammar by CEFR Levels: For English Learners, Teachers, and Developers

This book is intended to be a concise grammar reference resource, aimed at:

Learners of English: Learners can use the book to check that they have covered all of the grammar areas appropriate to their CEFR level. They can also use it to see which grammatical structures they still need to master to be able to score more highly in an English test.

Teachers of English: This book can be used as a handy refresher to help explain the most salient points of a grammar feature to learners. It could be especially useful for teachers on a CELTA/TESOL training course who need to get to grips with unfamiliar grammatical terms.

Materials developers: Want to have an overview of where grammatical items stand relative to the progression of learner abilities? Use this book to help sequence the grammar items in your materials.

Many of the grammar points in this book are accompanied by short exercises with answers to help consolidate the main ideas of those grammar points. At the back of the book, there are also some ideas for classroom activities that teachers can give learners to help them practice the different past tenses in English.

The book came into being after one of the author's students asked what grammar items she "needed to know to be a B1 level". Although being able to check off grammar items does not necessarily constitute success in English, it can in part help with goal-setting and confidence building to be able to identify concrete can and can't dos.

The author has twenty five years’ experience in teaching English language learners from around the world, and regularly writes and edits different types of educational materials and articles for many international publishers.
