Annotated Table of Contents: Grammar and Composition

Teaching English, How To.... by Raymond Stopper

Part Three: Writing and Speaking

Chapter 9: Grammar and Composition. Why teach grammar? In my experience,the problem with teaching grammar has always been lack of clear purpose. As a result, students may be taught grammar, but they soon forget what they have learned because they do not apply it. In this chapter, I will discuss the purposes for teaching grammar in English, and I will explain how a knowledge of grammar can help students to polish their written expression.
