Help with English grammar?
If you intend a career in TESL you will need to own a general grammar such as Thomson and Martinet's 'Practical English Grammar' (this is what British teachers regularly use, there are other similar texts available). You should buy yourself such a general grammar and slowly read it through (remembering that there is no such thing as a definitive English grammar, so your text will be correct only 90% of the time). If you ever want something more advanced, you could look around for a copy of Quirk's "A Grammar of Contemporary English". You will learn much more with a book than you eve could from a website, Grammar needs careful study and slow thinking about. (Many websites are also very unreliable). If you ever decide that grammar fascinates you a short course in Latin (three months or so, or even a good teach-yourself book) will get you thinking about grammar in ways unimaginable to people who went through the standard modern educational system. You don't need to master Latin to any extent (maybe up to being able to read gravestones and inscriptions) - but it will show you how grammar works. (You certainly don't need Applied Linguistics to be a successful TESL teacher. A smattering of a second language - any second language - is far more useful than most Applied Linguistics concepts).
