Helene and Dabro, Re TESOL - I have almost finished a Masters in TESOL but am disappointed in the practical applications of the course for a practicing teacher. Although semantics and sociolinguistics are interesting they are of little help to the housewives in Yokohama. Of course I realise that these studies give us many insights into the language. I am interested Dabro in which elements of your TESOL focussed on the teaching of grammar and what kind of grammar - traditional grammar, linguistic grammar or what?
