Description
Do more than just teach students to follow grammar rules. With this important book by your side, empower students to shape their own narratives and seize control of their writing destinies.
Introducing the revamped Grammar and the Teaching of Writing (GTW), a book that helps you teach students to craft good writing.
A follow-up text to Grammar and the Teaching of Writing: Limits and Possibilities, the new GTW leverages students' implicit language knowledge to streamline the learning process. Building on the success of its predecessor, GTW
- acknowledges the fluid nature of correctness and homes in on common errors;
- introduces "core principles of writing" to enable you to teach students to easily craft compelling sentences and cohesive texts; and
- equips you to help students make strategic writing choices by unraveling the secrets of form-meaning connections.
In its entirety, the new GTW aims to make the task of mastering writing easier, more meaningful, and more integrative. Say goodbye to tedious grammar lessons and hello to a revolutionary "writer's grammar" approach tailored specifically to enhance writing skills.
