New Learner’s English Grammar & Composition Book 8

Learners English Grammar and Composition is an activity-based series specially designed to meet the needs of pupils in Indian schools today. This graded series, comprising eight books, is intended for classes 1 to 8 and leads up to Learners English Grammar and Composition for classes 9 and 10, which has been in use since 1990. The present series is largely based on a study of the current trends in school syllabi and recent developments in the treatment of English grammar and composition.

The main objective of this series is to equip learners with the ability to use English effectively in real-life situations. Special attention has been paid to the points of structure and usage which are usually problematic to non-native speakers of English. The major focus is rightly on the area of verbs, which is the most important aspect of grammar and is evidently the most difficult for Indian learners to master.

The series aims at the simplicity of language and simplicity of treatment. The grammatical explanations, in particular, have been made very clear and easy to understand. The material has been graded with the utmost care. There are various types of exercises, most of which are judiciously geared towards mixed-ability classes. The units on comprehension and writing skills set out to help learners to put their knowledge of grammar to more practical use and widen their communicative ability.
