In short: Yes! I have never felt comfortable with the reactive,
error-correction approach to grammar instruction.

What I think most of us are puzzled over is the what, when (and perhaps,
how) questions of grammar instruction. I think that's why we've got the 3S
committee working on these questions. Unfortunately, from my POV, not much
is getting done, or at best, things are moving at a snail's pace - oh for
the time and resources!

I have very few (NOT little) materials collected, so far. But then, I am
exceedingly busy this year.
