Most students of English as a Foreign Language at University level find it confusing to read professional material in their field of study. Their confusion stems not only from their lack of training in reading comprehension but also from their inability to recognize or to distinguish between certain grammatical constructions. It is suggested that a brief introductory course in grammar for purposes of comprehension can serve a valuable purpose in isolating difficulties and in equipping students with the new reading skills which their university courses require. A set of worksheets for such a course is outlined briefly, and suggestions are offered for the production of additional material. (Author/AM)
