Meeting Description:

A day of talks and discussion on aspects of English grammar

Are you sat down or sitting down while reading this? Have you got or
do you have a preference for one form over the other? English has a
number of ways of expressing the same concept, and with approximately
400 million mother-tongue speakers and an estimated 1400 million
non-native speakers it has become a diverse, flexible language that
continues to adapt, evolve – and provoke strong reactions. You only
need to search for #grammar on Twitter to see what we mean!

Recent developments in the National Curriculum for England have placed
grammar in schools at centre stage once more, and divided opinion
among politicians, teachers, linguists and journalists, as well as the
wider public, on how and whether it should be taught. How have
teachers implemented changes to their teaching and learning programmes
to adapt to the new syllabuses, assessment criteria and tests? What
resources are available for students, teachers and the general public
to learn more about English grammar, and how reliable are they? What
is or should be the role of English grammar teaching in schools today
and why is this so controversial? What do teachers, professionals,
academics and the general public feel is the cultural and educational
significance of knowledge about the language?

Join us at UCL for a day of talks and discussion, and feel free to ask
our panel of experts to explore any aspect of English grammar from
ain’t to innit.

Presented by University College London, the British Library and the
University of Oxford.
