Betty Azar
Betty Schrampfer Azar is the author of the Azar Grammar Series for students of English as a second or foreign language. A staple in English language teaching for more than three decades, the series contains dozens of books and is widely used throughout the globe.[1]
Azar is a proponent of grammar-based teaching in which grammar serves as the starting point and foundation for the development of all language skills — speaking, listening, writing, and reading.[2][3]
The series is in its fifth edition. With the addition of co-author Stacy A. Hagen in 2006, the series is now known as the Azar-Hagen Grammar Series.
There are three principal textbooks in the series: Understanding and Using English Grammar,[4] Fundamentals of English Grammar[5] and Basic English Grammar.[6]
In 2017, TESOL International Association named the Betty Azar Travel Grant for Practicing ESL ESL/EFL Teachers in her honor. This grant helps pay for participants to travel to the annual TESOL conference.[7]
