Final part of a series on teaching Spanish grammar. (DS)

Presents a novel approach, relying on linguistic principles of semantics, to teach grammatical usage in Spanish as a second language. (AM)

Current linguistic research in syntax and morphology may have positive results for language teaching, but caution is required as linguistic theory grows more abstract. (CHK)

Instead of teaching three divisions (when-type clauses, conditional clauses, and wish-clauses), two units may be used (possible situations and contrary-to-fact situations). Suggestions are made for interesting class practice. (MSE)

Shows the advantages of using visual representations of certain systematic aspects of a grammar. Simplified diagrams prove useful as mnemonic and explanation devices in the foreign language classroom. Two examples are given for teaching German to speakers of English. (TL)

Many examples of the present perfect tense are proposed. These are accompanied by simple rules to help the student get a clear idea and better grasp of the use of the present perfect in British English. The article is designed for teachers of English to Francophones. (Text is in French.) (AMH)

Presents a method for teaching grammar through an understanding of the content of a written text, using a three-fold approach: sociolinguistic, linguistic, and logico-syntactical. (Text is in French.) (AM)
