ABSTRACT

This inventory of grammar exercises from Heinle and Heinle textbooks is designed for use by material writers and teachers who are interested in looking at what is currently in use in grammar textbooks. We would like to thank Heinle and Heinle for providing us with copies of their current textbooks for research and analysis. The inventory is set up to allow viewers first to preview the main categories and read an explanation of the parameters we have set for that particular group of exercises. The main categories include groups such as fill-in-the-blank and sentence creation. Next, the viewer can find subcategories, each with a short introduction that distinguishes those activities from others within the same main category. For example, within the category of fill-in-the-blank, some of the subcategories are changing word forms, substituting, etc. Finally, the actual examples of exercises follow each subcategory introduction. Within each category and subcategory, the viewer will have the option of returning to the main menu in order to move to other categories. Also, some of the subcategories are cross-referenced to other categories which closely correspond. For example, within fill-in-the-blank there is a subcategory called multiple choice. This is cross-referenced to the main category of multiple choice. Before the inventory begins, there is a section called 'Introduction' which provides the viewer with some background on the development of the inventory and insight into some of the issues the authors faced in constructing the categories. For those interested in further research, there is a companion inventory at this web site (English Grammar on the Web) which examines writing exercises specifically. We hope in the future to expand these inventories to include all the skill areas and textbooks for a variety of different settings.
