As teachers we often talk about 'covering' grammar points. Scott Thornbury explains why it is more useful to think about how we 'uncover' grammar, to reveal the workings of the system to our students and encourage them to notice what is going on. The book uses extracts from exchanges in real classrooms, authentic texts and language teaching tasks. It provides lots of practical activities so that you can immediately and easily put the ideas to work in your classroom.
Scott Thornbury teaches on the on-line MA TESOL program at the New School, New York. He has also taught and trained in Spain (where he lives), Egypt, the UK and in his native New Zealand. His present interests include discourse and corpus analysis, classroom interaction, second language emergence and critical pedagogy.
