Dear RNLDers,<br>I don't know much about pedagogical grammars but I know what I like.<br>For me, a good learner's grammar presupposes no prior experience of second-language learning (and how hard it is), is short and fun (as opposed to comprehensive and pedantic), is free of digressions into linguistic theory, and is above all relevant to the target users' needs. Eg, example sentences that illustrate grammatical features might also double-up as useful and culturally appropriate phrases for learner interaction with speakers.<br>
<br>Having got that off my chest, please share with me your favourite pedagogical grammars from around the world. I will make the list available to the group.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Piers. <br><br><br>
