Taking the G-r-r-r Out of Grammar

Grammar is a grizzly topic for students and teachers alike. Stephen Tchudi’s and Lee Thomas’ article “Taking the G-r-r-r Out of Grammar” gives some pointers on helpful (and painless) ways of teaching grammar as descriptive rather than prescriptive. Traditional and transformational grammar are discussed along with how grammar might be applied to literature, dialects, second language learners.
