ISO: ESL Intensive Grammar Review options

[Harmon, Sarah]

Heyyas all—

One of my faculty is looking for OER for ESL 808 Intensive Grammar Review, one of our ESL summer courses. In the past, our faculty have used Bissonnette ESL Grammar The Way You Like It and Ramsey Conventions 101 A Functional Approach to Teaching (And Assessing!) Grammar and Punctuation for the course. The Bissonnette text is still available and my faculty enjoy using it, however it looks like the Ramsey text is being pulled offline this year, so we’re looking for a replacement.

I’m attaching the course outline of record for this course, and the course outcomes and objectives are below. In doing a quick check, there are many grammar texts out there, but nothing that quite lines up with the course like the Ramsey one did. Any help would be appreciated! (Happy to share out the results.)

Best,

--s

Hi Sarah, 

We just published Editing for Better Writing for Clackamas Community College's ESOL 046. It covers a good number of the topics you've listed. 

A couple things to note: 

1. We are just in the piloting stage, so we do expect some minor content changes to the text in the next 6 months or so. 

2. This is a workbook style text and works best in print. We've added a link to a PDF we formatted for printing in the "About This OER" section of the front matter. We found that LibreText's PDF version does not translate well to text. 

Best, 

Justine Munds
