Exploring Basic English Grammar

-도서소개-

Exploring Basic English Grammar는 영어를 말하고 이해하고 무엇보다 읽는데 필요한 문장형성규칙 즉 문법을 기초적인 부분부터 단계적으로 제시할 의도로 쓰여졌다. 말하기와 읽기 쓰기를 등한시 하지 않으면서 동시에 책의 제목에서 알 수 있듯 이 교재는 개별 단어의 특성과 단어들이 어떤 규칙에 의해 문장으로 결합되는가에 주된 초점과 관심을 두고 있다. 영어 문장을 구성하는 단어들의 특성을 먼저 소개하고 구체적인 용례를 통해서 문법적인 주제들이 체계적으로 제시된다. 교재의 후반부에는 다양한 주제와 문장형식을 담고 있는 비교적 짧은 독해자료를 제공하여 문법적 지식을 책을 읽는데 응용할 수 있도록 배려했다. 특히 이 교재는 온라인 강의와 연동되어 학생들이 교재의 내용을 온라인 강의로 예습 복습할 수 있다는 점이 가장 큰 특징이라 할 수 있겠다.
