Unfortunately I have not been able to find lots of good books that follow the communicative-cognitive approach for  teaching grammar. Most grammar books follow the traditional structural approach and mix different notions in their exercises and confuse learners rather than helping them to understand a new notion.

The following books contain  materials and activities that can be used to teach and practice English grammar notions efficiently. In order to select appropriate activities for your learners always check critically whether they focus on the notion you want to teach. Check the efficiency of the activities using the “grammar quick checker“

The best and most helpful books:
