new grammar companion for teachers /
This third edition of 'A new grammar companion for teachers' will continue to familiarise teachers with the basics of the English grammatical system. In this book, grammatical categories are organised according to how they construct meaning in context: expressing ideas, connecting ideas, interacting with others and creating coherent texts. In 'A new grammar companion for teachers', grammar is viewed as a resource - an array of possibilities from which learners can make the most appropriate selection to generate and interpret meanings. As well as employing standard grammatical terminology that will already be familiar to teachers and the community, the book uses terms that allow for a more functional interpretation. 'A new grammar companion for teachers' is an indispensable reference and guide, providing reassurance and support for educators as they introduce students to the fascinating workings of grammar." - Back cover.
