Baraceros, E. L. (2005). English Plus: Communicative functional grammar. Manila,Philippines.

Rex Bookstore This book reflects the paradigm shift in English language teaching
and learning whereby changes in every aspect of language-teaching and
learning is expressed. It shows a shift from mastery of grammar rules and forms
to free expression of meaning or experiences related to language forms; from
teacher-centered to learner-centered pedagogy; from classical to authentic and
content-area reading materials; from individualized to collaborative or
cooperative performance of language activities; and other indications of the
needed changes for a more meaningful English-language teaching and learning.

UK. McGraw-Hill Companies Lee, J. & VanPatten, B. (2003). Making language teaching

happen. The guiding principle of Making Communicative Language Teaching

Happen is the premise that communication is the expression, interpretation, and
negotiation of meaning, and not simply oral expression. Following that
framework, Making Communicative Language Teaching Happen helps
instructors develop communicative classroom environments that blend listening,
speaking, reading, and writing.

This indispensable handbook provides helpful strategies for dealing with both the
everyday challenges of university teaching and those that arise in efforts to
maximize learning for every student. The suggested strategies are supported by
research and adaptable to specific classroom situations. Rather than suggest a
"set of recipes" to be followed mechanically, the book gives instructors the tools
they need to deal with the ever-changing dynamics of teaching and learning.

Nassaji, H. & Fotos, S. (2011). Teaching Language in Second Language Classrooms:

Integrating Form-Focused.Recent SLA research recognizes the necessity of
attention to grammar and demonstrates that form-focused instruction is
especially effective when it is incorporated into a meaningful communicative
context. Designed specifically for second-language teachers, this text identifies
and explores the various options for integrating a focus on grammar and a focus
 on communication in classroom contexts and offers concrete examples of
teaching activities for each option. Each chapter includes a description of the
option, its theoretical and empirical background, examples of activities illustrating
in a non-technical manner how it can be implemented in the classroom,
questions for reflection, and a list of useful resources that teachers can consult
for further information.
