Teaching Grammar, Structure and Meaning introduces teachers to
some basic ideas from the increasingly popular field of cognitive
linguistics as a way of explaining and teaching key grammatical
concepts. Particularly suitable for those teaching post-16 English
Language, this book offers a methodology for teaching key aspects
of linguistic form and an extensive set of learning activities.
Written by an experienced linguist and teacher, this book
contains:
. an evaluation of current approaches to the teaching of grammar
and linguistic form
. a revised pedagogy based on principles from cognitive science
and cognitive linguistics
. a comprehensive set of activities and resources to support the
teaching of key linguistic topics and text types
. a detailed set of suggestions for further reading and a guide
to available resources
Arguing for the use of drama, role play, gesture, energy
dynamics, and visual and spatial representations as ways of
enabling students to understand grammatical features, this book
explores and analyses language use in a range of text types, genres
and contexts. This innovative approach to teaching aspects of
grammar is aimed at English teachers, student teachers and teacher
trainers."
