I've just come across Beth Neman's book, Teaching Students to Write, and
particularly Chapter 7, "Teaching Grammar and Syntax: Help from the Science
of Linguistics."
 
I don't recall any discussion of this resource. Has anyone read it? What is
your reaction? It seems to me that she has answered a number of questions
that people often raise about this subject. It is not an anti-grammar
chapter, though it begins by reviewing the usual findings.
