Now in its third edition, A new grammar companion for teachers will familiarise teachers with the basics of the English grammatical system. As well as employing standard grammatical terminology that will already be familiar to teachers and the community, the book also uses terms that allow for a more functional interpretation of the ways that language functions within our lives. It organises grammatical concepts according to how they construct meaning in context: expressing ideas, connecting ideas, interacting with others and creating coherent texts. This illuminating approach frames grammar as a resource – an array of possibilities from which learners can make the most appropriate selection to generate and interpret meanings.
