Synopsis

Which components of grammar teaching—accuracy, meaningfulness, and appropriateness—are you the least comfortable including in your classroom activities?

This reflective question and many others await your discussion and analysis in this revised edition of TESOL Press's best-selling Teaching Grammar, which explores different approaches to teaching grammar in second language classrooms. This volume contains a new chapter on designing writing assignments, as well as updated references and research. Detailed guidelines for teaching grammar with sample activities are also included.
