Description

Heinle & Heinle ELT, 2003. – 199 c. – ISBN-10: 0838466753; ISBN-13: 978-0838466759.A must-read for every language teaching professional, "Teaching Language: From Grammar to Grammaring" explores the regular, predictable elements of language as well as the potential creativity of its underlying system. By combining a wide range of viewpoints with her own personal experiences and studies, Diane Larsen-Freeman challenges the static descriptive ideas of grammar, based on rules, and promotes the more fluid and dynamic notions of reason-driven grammaring, which she defines as "the ability to use grammar structures accurately, meaningfully, and appropriately". The reader is left not with an encyclopedic set of definitions, but rather with a deeper understanding of the organic nature of language and its acquisition, and a honed set of tools with which to approach language in language teaching
