The Teacher's Grammar Book, Second Edition

by: James D. Williams




The Teacher's Grammar Book, Second Edition introduces the various grammars that inform writing instruction in our schools, and examines methods, strategies, and techniques that constitute best classroom practices for teaching grammar and writing. Designed for students who are preparing to become English or language arts teachers, as well as for credentialed teachers who want an easy-to-use guide to questions of methods, grammar, and teaching, this overview of basic English grammar includes the following major topics: *a brief history of grammar; *teaching grammar; *grammar and writing; *traditional grammar; *transformational-generative grammar; *cognitive grammar; *dialects; *black English; and *Chicano English. This text examines the most common ways to teach grammar, assessing their strengths and weaknesses with the aim of identifying best practices. Central to this text is its treatment of grammar and writing. Emphasizing the linguistic perspective, The Teacher's Grammar Book, Second Edition makes an important distinction between grammar and usage, with an explanation of why most sentence errors seen in student language (both written and spoken) are related to usage, not grammar. New in the reorganized and fully updated Second Edition: *New chapter giving a brief history of grammar and grammar instruction; *New chapter on best practices--strategies and techniques that actually work; *Expanded chapter on cognitive grammar--a topic not found in other texts of this nature; *Expanded chapter on dialects; *Summary and evaluation of the minimalist program (Noam Chomsky's most recent revision of transformational-generative grammar)--a topic unique among texts of this kind; and *Reduced discussion of transformational grammar.
