A Treatment of the Problems of Grammar--word-choice and Tactics--for Students who Have Not Grown Up Hearing Standard Dialects of English
Description:... This course of lessons, exercises, and tests is designed for secondary level students who have not grown up hearing a standard dialect of English. It uses transformational-generative grammar to describe and explain language operations. Each chapter presents, explains, and illustrates the principles of language to be studied. The text is purposely interrupted at frequent intervals, directing the student to appropriate exercises that require them to immediately use the principles they are learning. Pre- and post-tests for each chapter allow each student's specific language problems to be identified.
