Abstract:

Traditionally, there has been a disconnect between theoretical linguistics and
pedagogical teacher training. This book seeks to bridge that gap. Using
engaging examples from a wide variety of languages, it provides an innovative
overview of linguistic theory and language acquisition research for readers
with a background in education and teacher training, and without specialist
knowledge of the field. The authors draw on a range of research to ground
ideas about grammar pedagogy, presenting the notion of Virtual Grammar as an
accessible label for unifying the complexity of linguistics. Organised
thematically, the book includes helpful 'Case in point' examples throughout
the text, to illustrate specific grammar points, and step-by-step training in
linguistic methods, such as how to analyse examples, which educators can apply
to their own teaching contexts. Through enriching language teachers'
understanding of linguistic features, the book fosters a different perspective
on grammar for educators.
