The Power of Grammar: A Phenomenological Approach. Questo articolo non è disponibile.The Power of Grammar: A Phenomenological Approach

Grammar is the basic structure of our language and is difficult to teach in any language, especially English! In this book, Anne Greer provides a wonderful survey of grammar teaching in North America. Her lively interchanges with language arts teachers sharing their experiences in their classrooms, demonstrate ways to make the language truly living. The book gives many fine ideas for the approach to grammar needed in our culture. Beautiful, artistic work requires structure, and grammar provides that structure for the living language of North American English.Teachers and parents will appreciate the numerous examples, depth of investigation, and creative approaches provided in this book for the guidance of the young and the young at heart for capturing the essentials of grammar for powerful, clear writing.

Anne Greer taught Language Arts and English at the Toronto Waldorf School in Ontario for many years. Her command of language is apparent in her own writing and her comprehension of the artistic use of grammar as a supporting tool (rather than as an oppressive deterrent!) in creative writing shows itself clearly in the fluid expository in this thorough and inspiring analysis of the teaching and use of grammar. Anne lives now in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and mentors a young Waldorf school there.
