Worldview: Prescriptive instruction of American English with native speaker descriptive usages, common problems for particular L1 learners of English, and activity suggestions.
This book is very well organized! The chapters are laid out like classic outlines (I., A., 1., a.) but written in narrative form. Each sub-topic concludes with a summary of key points with examples, and comprehension exercises.
Sometimes it felt like the author didn't have much to say about a subject, so he used some lame filler in about 5-10% of the book. Ocassionaly, his native dialect of English caused him to mark some sentences as non-prescriptive when they are certainly common American English.

رغم أنه كان من القراءات السريعة، إلا أنه أعجبني كثيرا. الكتاب غني، يستعرض طرق تدريس نحو الإنجليزية وفقا لنظريات التعليم المختلفة (ليس كلها)، و يتطرق لمفهوم الأخطاء النحوية و أسبابها و طرق علاجها، ثم في فصول متعددة يتناول الأسس النحوية من باب عرض طرق تدريس كل أساس والمشاكل التي قد يواجهها المتعلمون في اكتسابه مع ملخص لكل أساس نحوي يمكن استخدامه في التدريس.
أظنه مرجعا مهما لمدرسي النحو، لاستشارته أثناء التدريس لتأكيد وصول المعلومات بشكل مناسب للطلاب.
