Self-Study Guides
These self-study guides focus on key grammatical and syntactic concepts essential for professional development in English language teaching.
Each guide explores a single concept in depth: what it is, how it works within the system, and how that understanding applies to identification, correction, and explanation in the classroom.
Intended for teacher trainees and practising English teachers who want to strengthen their analytical understanding of grammar and syntax — not just recognise structures, but justify them.
If you can identify a structure but struggle to explain why it works (or why it does not) these guides are for you.
An introduction to the rank scale as the structural foundation of English grammar.
Understanding Root Modality (Modal Verbs) as a System
Forthcoming guide — in preparation.
