Theoretical frameworks, voices from the classroom, and reflective tasks engage teachers in an interactive debate about language teaching. By Diane Larsen-Freeman - (Heinle & Heinle)   Order Now > Book         The Structure of English - Studies in Form and Function for Language Teaching Designed for graduate TESOL and certificate programs, as well as the new ESL/EFL teacher, The Structure of English presents a descriptive approach to grammar and the structure of English. Places a paricular focus on function - grammatical and discourse - as opposed to form (although form is addressed too). This characteristic reflects the philosophy that an understanding of discourse functions better enables teachers to see what's behind the grammar so that they can then teach it effectively to their students. Instead of exercises composed of unrelated sentences to present major points of grammar, the book illustrates structures with rich, "real world" contexts excerpted from literature (mostly American): novels, short stories, poems, essays, and drama. Exercises in the companion workbook are also based on naturally occurring stretches of discourse. An excellent resource. By Jeanette S.
