Sinopsis :
The Teacher’s Grammar Book is designed for students who are preparing to become English or language arts teachers, as well as for credentialed teachers who want to know more about grammar. Most grammar books focus on terminology. Some add a discussion of the connection between grammar and writing. The Teacher’s Grammar Book, however, is different. Certainly, it treats terminology thoroughly, but it is far more than just a list of grammar terms. It is not a handbook and was never intended to be one.The Teacher’s Grammar Bookwas designed to offer an easy-to-use guide to teaching methods and grammar and usage questions, a combination that has not been readily avail-able before. In addition, it provides an overview of English grammar that is in-formed not only by historical developments in the field but also by a variety of pedagogical, research, and philosophical issues that underlie grammar and our efforts to understand grammar, language, writing, and teaching. Out of this wide ranging exploration emerges the view that a teacher’s choice of grammar reflects philosophical and pedagogical orientations that influence both the con-tent and the methods of language arts instruction. The Teacher’s Grammar Bookgrew out of my experience teaching grammar and composition methods courses to education students since 1981. What I discovered early in my career is that large numbers of prospective teachers do not feel confident about their knowledge of English grammar. They experience a certain degree of anxiety as a result. Most have recognized that they will be required to teach grammar and they aren’t happy about it. Many have had bad experiences with grammar in the past. They “didn’t get it,” or, sadder still, they “just didn’t like it.” Nearly all are surprised when, a few weeks into my gram-mar courses, they discover not only that they are “getting it” but that grammar is actually fun.The Teacher’s Grammar Book aims to take readers on a similar voyage of discovery.
