Description
An important contribution to the emerging body of
research-based knowledge
about English grammar, this volume presents empirical studies
along with
syntheses and overviews of previous and ongoing work on the
teaching and
learning of grammar for learners of English as a second/foreign
language. It
explores a variety of approaches, including form-focused
instruction, content
and language integration, corpus-based lexicogrammatical
approaches, and social
perspectives on grammar instruction. Nine chapter authors are
Priority Research
Grant or Doctoral Dissertation Grant awardees from The
International Research
Foundation for English Language Education (TIRF), and four
overview chapters
are written by well-known experts in English language education.
Each research
chapter addresses issues that motivated the research, the
context of the
research, data collection and analysis, findings and discussion,
and
implications for practice, policy, and future research.
