Teaching Grammar from Rules to Reasons - Practical ideas and advice for working with grammar in the language classroom

Teaching Grammar: From Rules to Reasons outlines an alternative approach to teaching grammar in the language classroom. Rather than just considering the standard rules of grammar, it explores what speakers and writers of English actually do with grammar. It then considers how students can be guided to discover what those speakers and writers mean. Enhance your teaching skills with systematic procedures, discovery activities, and practical materials.

This book offers you lesson materials, systematic lesson procedures, and discovery techniques. It also explores replication activities that you can incorporate into a syllabus and use as demonstration lessons.

Teaching Grammar: From Rules to Reasons aims to:

• help teachers to develop their knowledge of grammar
• provide a source of grammar lessons
• instigate new ways of planning and organising lessons.
