Teaching Grammar: From Rules to Reasons is a study book that offers a renewing approach to teaching grammar. It focuses on the use of grammar by real speakers and writers, rather than only on fixed rules. This handbook helps teachers to understand how grammatical structures convey meaning and how they can use this in language lessons.
The book includes structured lesson materials, systematic lesson procedures, and discovery techniques for effective grammar teaching. In addition, it provides practical replication activities that can be integrated into syllabi and used as demonstration lessons.
Teaching Grammar: From Rules to Reasons aims to:
- increase teachers' grammatical knowledge
- provide concrete grammatical teaching materials
- introduce new, didactic approaches for lesson planning and organization
