Abstract:

This book investigates the content of the grammar syllabus typically
employed in mainstream English Language Teaching. Using a
mixed-methods approach, the author examines how the syllabuses used in
coursebooks are actually constructed, how they evolved and how valid
their contents are as a basis for teaching. The research reported
consists of a broad exploration of primary sources in order to outline
the evolution of ELT pedagogical grammar; ten interviews with key ELT
authors and publishing professionals, which allows for the
investigation of the decision-making processes underlying the choice
of grammar content in ELT teaching materials; and finally, the
presentation of case studies which examine three areas of grammar,
analysing the evolution of their treatment in ELT materials (both
historical and contemporary) and comparing their current treatment to
data on real learner use. This book contributes to the literature on
syllabus design and pedagogical grammar and builds on existing
research into materials design. It will be of interest to researchers
and professionals working in the fields of applied linguistics,
pedagogical grammar, curriculum design and materials design.
