[Teach-grammar] English grammar in primary schools

[Richard Hudson]

Hello again Emilie. Thanks very much for this message, and for the delay 
at my end. These two articles are both very interesting in their 
different ways, and show both similarities and differences between 
France and the UK. In both countries, it seems that grammar is a hot 
topic for debate, and there's a lot of uncertainty about aims as well as 
about content and methods. But in France you never abandoned grammar 
teaching totally, so your teachers all know some grammar and the 
question is how to develop this knowledge and apply it to the teaching 
of standard French. Anyway, I've added your references to the website at 
http://teach-grammar.com/geography#france .

If anyone else on this list can provide information about the teaching 
of grammar in other countries, I would love to expand this list of 
countries!!

Best wishes, Dick
