Unit of Study: EDPJ5016 - Grammar: Text and Context
This core unit focuses on grammar of English and the teaching of this in the second/foreign language classroom. It also focuses on building awareness of key features of English grammar and on how grammatical choices are influenced by the textual, situational and socio-cultural context. A principle that is stressed is that some grammatical features actually function above the level of sentence, with choices having consequences for meaning, style and structure of the whole text. This unit is intended for language teachers. Suitable for teachers who know the rules but are interested in developing their sensitivity to the role context plays in specific grammatical choice and also for those with little prior knowledge of English grammar. However, students with little prior knowledge are likely to find they need to do some extra reading.
