What English Teachers Need to Know about Grammar.
Murdick, William
English Journal, v85 n7 p38-45 Nov 1996
Suggests that English teachers need to know that grammar is a difficult subject; know what children know about grammar; know that grammatical error is complex; and know more about language than just grammar. Concludes with the advice of Noam Chomsky--that grammar should be taught for its own intrinsic interest. (RS)
