A Handbook For Language Detectives

Beskrivelse

Dive into the intriguing world of English grammar with a guide designed for language detectives. This book offers a comprehensive look at grammar from a functional linguistic perspective while exploring effective teaching methods.

A practical resource combining English grammar insights and communicative teaching strategies.

A Handbook for Language Detectives provides an in-depth overview of English grammar at the bachelor level, focusing on both traditional structures and their meanings through semantics and pragmatics. It encourages viewing grammar not as an isolated subject but as an integral part of communicative language teaching. The book presents fresh, valuable ideas on how to seamlessly incorporate grammar instruction within a communicative framework.

This handbook serves two main purposes:

• To deliver a detailed understanding of English grammar and language use from a functional linguistic standpoint.
• To offer guidance on teaching English grammar through an inductive and communicative approach.

Primarily aimed at Danish student teachers of English, it also benefits anyone interested in teaching grammar in an engaging, communicative way. Special attention is given to areas that Danish learners often find challenging. Notably, this book was honored with the LÆREBOGSPRISEN award in 2010.
