FOREWORD
This booklet was prepared as a source of reference for the intensive English courses
that has been held annually in the College of Agriculture at Atatürk University since 1978
for intermediate learners.
Generally in schools, different parts of certain subjects are taught at different times
in the courses of English as a foreign language. A learner at intermediate level has to
integrate these parts in order to establish a solid base for improvement. In this booklet, the
essentials of English Grammar are integrated by presenting related parts together and
simplified by omitting some details for the sake of practicality.
This booklet can provide a practical guide for the intermediate learners to integrate
their knowledge, improve their proficiency and reach to advanced level. Advance learners
too, can benefit from these notes to consolidate their knowledge and maintain their level of
proficiency in English.
This integrated approach makes it possible for the learners to know the limits of
what they already know and what more they need to know.
Four basic skills, i.e., reading comprehension, written expression, listening
comprehension and oral expression must be developed in learning a language. These skills
are based on Grammar and Vocabulary. A special attention must be given to each one of
these six essential components of linguistics in learning a foreign language in an efficient
way.
This booklet has been designed with these six essential components of linguistics in
mind and has a limited objective of providing a modest guidance for these components in
an informal seminar setting.

I hope that this booklet will be useful for the learners of English as a second
