After finishing the Azar books:Will you increase your familiarity with grammar concepts? Absolutely. You will be introduced to new structures and you will improve your ability to differentiate between similar structures. You’ll be exposed to many important grammar terms, and you’ll probably increase your own grammatical awareness.Will your understanding of English grammar improve? Probably. With your increased familiarity, English grammar will begin to become more comfortable. The ample practice exercises will reinforce correct construction, and your ability to reproduce correct grammar structures will improve.Will your actual grammar improve in “real life?” Possibly, a little bit. There is a good chance that your increased familiarity and understanding will result in more accurate language production in authentic situations. However, reading grammar explanations does not offer a realistic understanding of the true meaning of a grammar function. Similarly, completing out-of-context gap-fill exercises will be unlikely to have a noticeable impact on your spoken and written accuracy.The bottom line is that the Azar series of books is best used as supplemental practice to a properly staged and scaffolded general English or grammar course. The book is not set up to be a grammar course or a grammar self-study course. Its information is decontextualized, and the lessons are organized by concept rather than in a series of logical and incremental steps. The information in the book does not build on the information that came before, rather each chapter is it’s own beast that must be tamed.For students wishing to learn grammar from a book, I advise that if there is even the tiniest chance to take an English course or find a tutor, do it.
