"Active Grammar" is a new fast paced learning programme which shows students how the right choices of grammar and language can improve their writing immeasurably. It is ideal for students who have just moved up to secondary school. Early units act as a revision course to check what they have already learned, while at the same time filling the gaps in their knowledge. The units offer a range of lively activities, encouraging active exploration of language with regular feedback to the teacher. The 'Active Reading' sections show how language features are used in real life texts, and encourage students to tackle longer pieces of writing.
