The book avoids jargon and presents essential grammatical structures clearly and concisely. Dr. DeCapua approaches grammar from a descriptive rather than a prescriptive standpoint, discussing differences between formal and informal language, and spoken and written English. The text draws examples from a wide variety of authentic materials to illustrate grammatical concepts. The many activities throughout the book engage users in exploring the different elements of grammar and in considering how these elements work together to form meaning. Users are encouraged to tap into their own, often subconscious, knowledge of grammar to consciously apply their knowledge to their own varied teaching settings. The text also emphasizes the importance of understanding grammar from the perspective of English language learners, an approach that allows teachers to better appreciate the difficulties these learners face. Specific areas of difficulties for learners of English are highlighted throughout. 410 0$aSpringer Texts in Education,$x2366-7680 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLearning, Psychology of 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aLanguage Education 606 $aInstructional Psychology 606 $aSociology of Education 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aLearning, Psychology of. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 14$aLanguage Education. 615 24$aInstructional Psychology. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 676 $a370 700 $aDeCapua$b Andrea$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061876 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255130203321 996 $aGrammar for Teachers$92520892 997 $aUNINA
