I'm not too sure what two books you should put on your reading list for your grammar course for graduate students, but I sure am glad you're offering it. We get so many applicants for teaching positions here who have Ph.D.'s with very fancy-sounding dissertations but who have not knowledge on which to base the kind of language and grammar instruction we are finding more and more necessary. As for future reading lists for you and your students, you can gather all sorts of information by coming to ATEG's tenth annual conference next year in Seattle. It will be July 17 and 18, and I am the contact person for information. Paper or presentation submissions may be sent to Martha Killn at 3638 Buffalo Run Road, Bellefonte, PA 16823. ******************************************************************************* Michael Kischner North Seattle Community College 9600 College Way North Seattle, WA 98103 (206) 528-4540 FAX (206) 527 3784 email [log in to unmask] *******************************************************************************
