Grammar and the Teaching of Writing: Limits and Possibilities

By Rei R. Noguchi

Book Overview

For many students, Noguchi believes, formal study of grammar seems far removed from the daily use of language. He believes that grammar can help students but only with style, not with content or organization, and he suggests presenting students with a "writer's grammar" that specifically addresses the problems that crop up most often or those that society deems most serious.

Customer Reviews

writing and grammar

This book is short but excellent. Every high school English teacher should read it and try to help their students apply some of the exercises in it.
