English Grammar: Step by Step 1: A Simplified Approach to English Grammar Written Especially for Spanish Speakers Who Have No Prior Knowledge of Either English or Spanish Grammar - Tapa blanda

An accompanying book, Teaching English: Step By Step 1, provides listening and speaking exercises that accompany the grammar exercises presented in English Grammar: Step by Step 1.

Elizabeth Weal teaches English to adults in Redwood City, CA. Most of her students are from Latin America. When she found that there was no easy book, in Spanish, that explained grammar in simple, easy to follow language she decided to write her own book. Experience has taught her that virtually all students can understand the fundamentals of English grammar; all that is required is simple explanations and lots of practice. Elizabeth is the author of Gramatica del ingles: Paso a paso 1; Gramatica del ingles: Paso a paso 2, English Grammar: Step by Step 1, and English Grammar: Step by Step 2. She also has written teachers guides for these books, Teaching in English: Step by Step. Her most recent work is Writing in English: Step by Step, a book that teachers ESL students how to work clear, coherent, grammatically correct paragraphs in English.
