This specialization course aims to increase your knowledge of the English language - in particular the more complex grammar problems facing teachers and students alike. The modules covered will provide practical knowledge for ESL/EFL teachers. Throughout this discussion, examples are provided to show how the material presented relates to common student errors. An equally important goal of this discussion is that teachers gain greater insight into the heart of the grammatical system of English. Doing so can help teachers to understand their subject matter more deeply and recognize that there is simplicity among all the complexity of English.
