Abstract
Considers the teaching of grammar and its importance in the writing classroom. Examines what grammar is; why writing instruction has moved away from grammar; differing opinions regarding grammar and writing instruction; and grammar’s place in the writing classroom of the new century. Argues that grammar must be applied to students’ own writing.
