A New Grammar Companion for Teachers

Description

Increased interest in grammar and the Australian Curriculum: English, has stimulated a demand for this updated edition of PETAA’s very successful A Grammar Companion.

A NEW Grammar Companion for Teachers will continue to familiarise teachers with the basics of the English grammatical system. In this edition grammatical categories have been reorganised according to how they construct meaning in context: expressing and connecting ideas, interacting with others and creating coherent texts.

In A NEW Grammar Companion, grammar is viewed as a resource – an array of possibilities from which learners can make the most appropriate selection in order to generate and interpret meaning. this book employs standard grammatical terminology, which will already be familiar to teachers and the community, but it also uses terms which allow for a more functional interpretation.
