Our grammar book Grammar Detectives has become very popular and is being used in many schools all over Austria. For teachers who have followed a traditional approach to teaching grammar the switch to a Meaning into Form approach can often be quite challenging.
To help teachers make this change and avoid falling into all the pitfalls along the way, we have now produced a teacher’s commentary (Lehrerkommentar) which explains our rationale behind each activity and gives useful tips on how to use the tasks in class.
We have also created an answer booklet for the student book (Grammar Detectives). Although students should produce individual answers to all the activities, the sample answers can be a valuable resource for teachers. They show typical answers that can be expected for each task.
Both files are available for download. Click on the images to download the pdf files.
We hope our tips will make your grammar teaching even more successful.

Teachers who order a class set of our Grammar Detectives will also receive a free printed copy of the teacher’s comment booklet.
If you are planning to use the Grammar Detectives booklets in one of your classes, you might want to use up the remaining money in your school’s UeW (Unterrichtsmittel eigener Wahl) budget. This money must be used by mid of March — then unused money has to be returned. Your school’s Schulbuchreferent/in can tell you what is left in the UeW pot.
