“Grammar and Beyond” is a comprehensive grammar course series designed for English language learners, particularly those focusing on academic English.
It is a four-level course that helps students learn the most useful grammar and academic writing skills. The series is based on extensive research and ensures that students study accurate information about grammar and apply it in their own speech and writing.
It emphasizes contextualized grammar — teaching grammar in the context of reading, writing, listening, and speaking rather than isolated drills.
Key Features
Corpus-based grammar: Lessons are informed by a billion-word corpus of authentic English, ensuring explanations reflect real language use.
Focus on learner errors: Each unit includes “Avoid Common Mistakes” tips that highlight typical grammar errors and teach self-correction strategies.
Integrated skills: Grammar practice is linked to reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities.
Writing integration: The “Grammar for Writing” section allows learners to apply grammar rules directly to writing tasks.
Digital and online resources: Editions often include online workbooks, audio materials, and e-book versions for flexible learning.
Structure and Levels
The main series consists of four levels — from lower-intermediate to advanced — designed to progressively build grammar and writing proficiency.
Each unit begins with a realistic text for context, introduces a grammar focus, provides clear explanations, offers controlled and freer practice, and concludes with a writing task.
There is also a lighter “Essentials” version of the course with similar structure and aims.

Effective learning strategies for “Grammar and Beyond”
To get the best results when studying with Grammar and Beyond, learners should follow methods that combine understanding, practice, and application.
Study grammar in context
Begin each unit by carefully reading the opening text or example dialogue. This helps you see how the grammar point is used in real communication before studying the rules. Understanding grammar in context improves long-term memory and fluency.
Take notes and build a grammar journal
Summarize each grammar point in your own words. Write down:
- Key rules
- Sentence patterns
- Exceptions
- Common mistakes
- Reviewing your notes regularly helps reinforce learning and improve accuracy.

Practice actively, not passively
Do not just read the rules—apply them. Complete the exercises in the Student’s Book and Workbook, then create 5–10 extra sentences of your own. Personalizing grammar makes it easier to remember.
Use the “Avoid Common Mistakes” sections
These sections highlight frequent problems learners face. Pay special attention to them, compare with your own errors, and correct your writing. This habit builds strong self-editing skills.
Focus on the “Grammar for Writing” section
This part is one of the biggest strengths of the series. Take time to complete the writing tasks carefully, then:
- Revise your paragraph
- Check grammar and sentence structure
- Use linking words and academic style
- The more you apply grammar in writing, the faster you improve.

Combine with listening and speaking practice
After learning a grammar point, try using it in real communication:
- Record yourself speaking
- Join speaking groups or study with a partner
- Use grammar in everyday conversations
Fluency grows when grammar is used naturally.
Review regularly
Schedule weekly review sessions. Revisit previous units, check your mistakes, and redo difficult exercises. Consistent review prevents forgetting and builds confidence.
