　　ESL English Grammar Prescriptions is a set of 4 books from Book A to D and these “prescriptions” provided within are a collection of grammatical rules, explanations, examples and suggestions on the usage of English. The set of books is not intended to teach the language but skills to learn the language, providing the scaffolding necessary for readers to build up their language competence by themselves. The books are designed as easy reference materials and each of the books is made up of two sections, so there are eight sections altogether. Each section on points of grammar begins with the checklists of what learners are going to learn, followed by some useful rules, and examples to enhance understanding. The definitions and discussions are not exhaustive; they can be treated as rules of thumb and mnemonic stimuli.



　　In Section 1 of Book A, a global picture of the basis of English grammatical structures and systemic differences between the target language and Chinese language is presented. When learning a second language with insufficient language exposure or immersion, one has to be trained to develop competence and then be able to apply it and create responses in an infinite number of new ways. So, this is about how learners are capable of using the target language to express their ideas and thoughts. Their competence is defined by the grammar, or set of language rules, that is represented mentally and established based on his or her own understanding of acceptable usage in a given linguistic context. The core components of the grammar are included in the learner’s linguistic competence and these components relates to the four subfields: Phonology, Morphology, Syntax and Semantics.



　　Developed from the concept of these four subfields, Section 2 to 7 provide explanations and prescriptions for those who really want quickly enhance their English language skills. Details of grammar items are explained in terms of letter, word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph and other requirements of an essay, from the smallest unit developing progressively to the largest element of an essay. The final Section 8 keeps a glossary of some grammatical terms, a list of analogical figures used and the suggested answers to the essay analysis. As the characteristic of English grammar is that to fully understand one term, learners need to also know what the other terms mean, thus they could opt to familiarize themselves with the terms and figures before reading Section 1 to 7. All in all, improving one’s grammar skills will give one a boost of confidence as one find oneself reading and writing with ease.
