The Grammar Answer Key
ShORT ExPL anaTIOnS TO 100 ESL qUESTIOnS
Keith S. Folse
The Grammar Answer Key is a collection of 100 questions
submitted by ESL teachers—both novice and experi-
enced and both native and non-native speakers—from
many different countries around the world. The ques-
tions are actual questions that ESL/EFL students have
asked teachers about English and are similar to the Hot
Seat Questions presented in Keys to Teaching Grammar
to English Language Learners, Second Ed. (Folse, 2016).
The 100 questions are organized into 10 chapters
on topics that teachers and students can relate to well:
adjectives, articles, clauses, connectors, gerunds and
infinitives, prepositions, pronouns, pronunciation,
subject-verb agreement, suffixes, verbs, and vocabulary-
grammar connections. The number of questions in each
chapter varies. Each chapter begins with a short over-
view of the topic, sometimes introducing key terminol-
ogy; the overview concludes with a chart showing three
common ESL errors with each grammatical feature.
Each of the 100 questions is presented in a box and is
followed by an "answer" that can inform instruction,
oen in chart format. This is the ideal teacher resource
and professional development tool.

Workbook for Keys to Teaching Grammar
to English Language Learners
second edition
Keith S. Folse & Ekaterina V. Goussakova
The Workbook has been updated to reflect new content
in the Second Edition of the Handbook and once again
features exercises that carefully follow the sequence of
material in the Handbook. To facilitate use of the Work-
book with the Handbook, each exercise is coded with the
corresponding pages for the material in the Handbook.
Reflecting the different learning styles in any given
class, the exercises practice identifying grammatical
features in a variety of different ways, including many
charts, matching activities, and short answer questions.
In addition, the Workbook has a variety of exercises
consisting of sentences typical of English language
learners so that teachers can become familiar with
specific types of errors that ESL students make with
certain grammar points.
The Workbook also features some action research
projects to guide teachers in collecting small samples of
data from their target student populations.

Keys to Teaching Grammar to English Language
Learners: A Practical Handbook teaches the most com-
mon ESL grammar points in an accessible way through
real ESL errors and suggested teaching techniques.
Relevant grammar terminology is explained where
practical.
In the Second Edition, all chapters have been updated
and substantively revised. The number of marginal gray
boxes with tips and extra information has doubled. Most
notably, each Key in Chapter 3 has been expanded to
include information about how vocabulary works with
each grammar Key and to show an example of an exer-
cise from a student textbook. Also, a 16
th
Key, on Nega-
tion, has been added. Two new appendixes appear as
well.
