Blaauw-Hara, Mark
Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v34 n2 p165-178 Dec 2006
Our students need to be able to adhere to standard written English to succeed in their other classes and to get jobs at the end of their schooling, and it's the responsibility of writing teachers to help them do so. In this article, the author provides a research-based theoretical underpinning for effective grammar instruction as well as several specific strategies--based on experience and research--for addressing grammar productively.
