Syntax for EFL Teachers: A Generative Approach (Second Edition)

As its name, Syntax for EFL Teachers: A Generative Approach, suggests, this book is a two-pronged project. It provides a formal background in English syntax, while targeting EFL practitioners. Keeping in mind the EFL audience, I have chosen the Generative model which is closely related to the framework widely adopted in the EFL literature (e.g. Celce-Murcia and Larsen-Freeman (1999)). In addition to its application in English pedagogy, the Generative model can serve as a stepping stone to the understanding of the literature in second language acquisition research that has its basis on formal approaches.
