Someone should correct me if I am wrong, but I believe people can subscribe
to the listserv without being ATEG members.  I think it is very important
that we encourage prospective teachers to do so.  Because the broad, utopian
changes in grammar curriculum and teacher education that listservers are
discussing will take place slowly at best, one of the few short-term ways we
can support the teaching of grammar is to provide teachers with an easily
available listserv and website where they can go for questions and ideas.
The listserv seems to keep two kinds of threads going most of the time:
discussions of the broad issues, and queeries and responses about a grammar
item.  Both are valuable.  And tips about specific strategies for teaching,
though rarer, are very precious.  ATEG's opportunity (one of them) is to
offer teachers the easiest access possible to what they want so they can
integrate grammar into the classroom. The listserv has the potential to help
do that.

Subject: Who can subscribe to the listserv?

I'm newly active on the listserv even though I've been in ATEG for a
while.
What is the rule about who can subscribe to the listserv?  Can my
college
grammar students (mostly elementary and secondary teaching candidates)
get
on it without joining ATEG?
