A Corpus-Informed Grammar Textbook Series

Cambridge University Press has just published a nice grammar book series that is based on real-world English, i.e. corpus linguistics. It is called Grammar and Beyond. Anyone can preview these fine grammar texts in their entirety until Feb. 21:

Book 1 and Book 2

I field-tested a past tense unit from Book 2 in my level 4 class last semester and really liked its approach to teaching and practicing the tense. My students enjoyed it totally, too.
