| The Targeting Grammar series presents detailed knowledge of the grammar of English and its application in spoken and written language. Each of the Teaching Guides contain eight sections with comprehensive teaching materials for nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs, prepositions and phrases and sentences. In a busy modern world, language, in all its technical and creative brilliance, is often outshone by the very audio-visual world of the multimedia. Many of our children are stepping into a world of virtual reality, which only requires their passive acquiescence. As teachers in this modern world, we have to equip our young people with the skills they need to communicate easily and successfully. It is not enough to get by with an oral vernacular and text message shorthand. Employers require workers who can speak eloquently and confidently. they need workers who can write in succinct and precise ways using correct grammar and spelling. Without the facility of using language to express themselves orally and in the written form, people can become excluded and powerless in many areas of business and society. This book presents detailed knowledge of the grammar of English and its application in spoken and written language, relevant to this level of schooling. It sets forth a meta-language, which both teacher and students can use to examine and explore language, leading to deeper understandings and improved technique. |
