Mitsuko,

We, at the Seattle Goodwill Learning Center, are using the same approach for
teaching ESOL. Unfortunately, I can not recommend any books on the subject.

Subject: [NIFL-ESL:9251] less grammar in EFL textbooks?


Dear list members,

It has been a recent trend, although controversial, that less grammar is
implemented in EFL textbooks in Japan. Accordingly, more communicative or
oral approaches have been introduced.

Is there a similar trend in EFL classrooms in  other non-English speaking
countries?

Could anyone  direct me to some books or/and dissertations on this issues.
I would prefer online resources for the time being. Only abstracts would be
very helpful. 

Thank you.

Mitsuko
