The best teaching of grammar book I've ever read so far. It caters extended teaching of grammar module to students by their proficiency level, from beginner to advanced level as well as mixed abilities classroom. It also managed to give me a positive perspective in mixed abilities classroom environment where advanced students can also contribute to the teaching if they are clearly being instructed to do so.
