Experiential Skills for Future Grammar Teachers: Feedback from the ESL Classroom It was agreed by the original group that, rather than simply criticize the PG classes in the world of MATESOL programs (and these are quite varied; it would be impossible to make accurate generalizations), we would set out as a goal simply to categorize some of the skills that teachers need upon entering the ESL field, in order to share with PG teachers, and possibly new teachers, the benefit of our experience. Our purpose is to give a readable account of the classroom and its daily problems to those who can best use it, those who are training teachers to manage the classroom and its daily problems. click here. Finally, it should be mentioned that the place of grammar in curricula is in itself a controversial issue, which we cannot cover completely here. We can only say that we feel that all future teachers will need to know grammar, need to be able to talk about it, and need the skills we have identified, regardless of the kinds of programs or situations they ultimately teach in. We hope that these pages will be of use to you. Thomas Leverett, Lecturer

82. Some Questions And Answers About Grammar teaching grammar will not make writing errors go away. Besides the grammar material that is in the books I teach, what topics in grammar will help my students? http://www.ateg.org/grammar/q&a.htm

Some Questions and Answers About Grammar from ATEG, Assembly for the Teaching of English Grammar Why is grammar important? Grammar is important because it is the language that makes it possible for us to talk about language.  Grammar names the types of words and word groups that make up sentences not only in English but in any language.  As human beings, we can put sentences together even as childrenwe can all do grammar.  But to be able to talk about how sentences are built, about the types of words and word groups that make up sentencesthat is knowing about grammar.  People associate grammar with errors and correctness.  But knowing about grammar also helps us understand what makes sentences and paragraphs clear and interesting and precise.  Grammar can be part of literature discussions, when we and our students closely read the sentences in poetry and stories.  And knowing about grammar means finding out that all languages and all dialects follow grammatical patterns. Is grammar included in the NCTE/IRA Standards for the English Language Arts?             Four of the twelve standards call on the students' understanding of language and sentence structure: Standard #3 refers to the range of strategies and abilities students should use to comprehend and appreciate texts, and among these is their understanding of

83. The First Annual ATEG Conference (1990) Elon College, NC. What Kind of grammar Should We teach in College?, Cornelia ParaskevasShepard, Western Oregon State University. http://www.ateg.org/conferences/c1.htm

The First Annual ATEG Conference (1990) Introduction to the Proceedings How does one thank the dozens of people who help one’s dream come true? When I founded Syntax in the Schools I have attempted to thank the presenters by reproducing their papers as faithfully as I could. (I am sure there are still a few errors.) Numerous people have remarked about the amount of "work" that I put into the newsletter, the conference, and the proceedings. Most of this work is done at home, and I want to thank my wife, Toni, who regularly encourages me to "go do [my] work," and also my mother, who, over the years, has assisted me in purchasing much of the computer equipment without which the work could not all get done. The work is important because educators need to discuss how and why grammar is being taught. When people first hear of Syntax in the Schools , they usually assume that we support "traditional" grammar. Although some members of ATEG may do so, most don’t. Most members are sincerely upset at the way grammar is being taught. They want to see alternatives. But to find and develop those alternatives, we need a free and open discussion exactly what we have NOT had for the last two decades. But that is exactly what Syntax Ed Vavra Pennsylvania College of Technology November 30, 1990

84. Geoff Barton's Curriculum Support The challenge is which bits of grammar do we need to teach these students to help them become confident, accurate and reflective writers? http://www.longman.co.uk/tt_seceng/curric_sup/sept00/barton3.htm

Grammar Essentials Geoff Barton Years of presenting assemblies to reluctant adolescents have made me fairly confident as a public speaker, so I happily agreed to give a talk to the Linguistics Association of Great Britain at St John's College, Durham. I felt a little unnerved when I arrived in Durham and saw the programme. I was sandwiched between some decidedly high-powered talks. There was "The morphological expression of syntactic information in optimality theoretic syntax", "Romance ethic clitics and the notion of non-propositional person", and "Licensing attributes morphologically". My own title - "Grammar and writing" - suddenly looked distinctly unsexy. But then the grammar repertoire of a university linguist and a classroom teacher is bound to be different. In fact, I'm increasingly convinced that grammar in the classroom is a vital stepping-stone to student success, but not an end in itself. The long and sterile debate about whether students need to be taught grammar and, if so, which grammar, and, if this one, which bits  all of that seems to me largely redundant. You could be the grammar expert of the universe and still have to face a class of 14-year-olds who cannot consistently write in sentences. The challenge is: which bits of grammar do we need to teach these students to help them become confident, accurate and reflective writers?

86. But You Can Teach Grammar! Ahhh, But You CAN teach grammar! Even though all the research keeps right on saying that it doesn t do any good to teach grammar. http://www.wcdd.com/dd/editorials/grammar.html

Ahhh, But You CAN Teach Grammar! This editorial provides a lead into a review of Dierdre Wolownick Honnold's English With Ease , but because the teaching of grammar is considered draconian by many educators, I felt it necessary to say up front why I believe the teaching of grammar can be effective and is desperately needed. It appears to me that the researchers have been designing studies which test the wrong thing and using that as an excuse not to teach grammar. Them's fightin' words. Let the flames begin! In a former life, when I first started teaching freshman composition, everyone had a handbook, be it Prentice Hall or Harbrace . These handbooks were a marked step up from the various Warriners I had had in every grade of high school. The Warriners were definitely into rules and fill in the blanks. The Prentice Hall and Harbrace were into rules, but with a bit more explanation of what was going on. The misplaced modifiers were there, but the Prentice Hall handbook had a really good section on logical fallacies, something we never got around to discussing, at least in my high school classes. In truth, I never really looked at my own freshman composition handbook until, in graduate school, I had to figure out what number I had to assign to the themes I collected from my own students. As an undergraduate, my papers had come back with a few numbers on them referring to handbook sections. I looked them up, made the corrections, and that was that. I really hated correcting my own themes. I never, ever rewrote them, although this was encouraged. I simply corrected the simple errors.

Should we Teach Grammar? The Language Resource is a monthly publication of the National Capital Language Resource Center, http://www.nclrc.org Should We Teach Grammar? (part I) Stephen Krashen Professor of Education, University of Southern California Dr. Krashen is the nation's leaders in the fields of bilingual education, neurolinguistics, second language acquisition and literacy. He has authored over 250 articles and books and has received numerous awards. Dr. Krashen is also an indispensable champion of foreign language education in the United States. At one time, it was assumed that the only way of developing grammatical competence in a second language was through direct teaching of grammar. We all held the "skill-building" position: We learn language by first learning the rules consciously, then practicing them in output exercises, and we fine-tune our knowledge of rules by getting our errors corrected. This axiom has been demoted to the level of hypothesis: It has been argued that we develop competence in second languages in another way. We acquire the grammatical rules of a language by understanding input containing these rules. Our attention is not on consciously learning the rules but on

Vol. 1. No. 4 R-3 June 1995 Return to Table of Contents Return to Main Page A Teacher's Grammar: An Approach to the Central Problems of English R. A. Close (1992) Hove, U.K.: Language Teaching Publications Pp. ii + 166 ISBN 0-906717-48-5 (paper) Billed as providing both a coherent explanation of English grammar and a reference for teachers, this book is really better at the former, being too short to serve adequately as the latter. A reprint of a volume originally published over 30 years ago, entitled English as a Foreign Language , it is practically unchanged, but still current and useful for the practicing teacher. From reading the first heading ("Has English a Grammar?"), one suspects that first, the author's primary concern is finding order in the vast system of English grammatical rules, and second, his point of view is quite British. Reading the book confirms both suspicions. In order to explain the English article, verb, and preposition systems, among others, Close uses the idea of English grammar as a system of marked and unmarked pairs, which are used in making a system of primary distinctions (concrete vs. abstract, unspecified vs. specified, etc.). For example, in his discussion of past tense, he says that the past tense is a signal of specification of past time, in the same way that the is a signal that the speaker is referring to a specified object. Thus, marked forms can be seen as having similar functions in very different fields. Seeing the system from Close's viewpoint can give order to a language that is at times chaotic. This can be of invaluable benefit to the new teacher who feels occasionally overwhelmed by the complexity of the system as it is. Verb tenses in particular can be especially confusing, what with the contrast between completed action (represented in this book by
