In addition, coverage examines solutions to common usage problems faced by native speakers, non-standard speakers, and ELL students.

• Specifically designed features to support teachers who struggle to develop academic literacy for ELL students

Revue de presse

Here's what reviewers had to say about Learning and Teaching English Grammar, K-12:

"The chapters are consistently good.  They present the material clearly, logically, and as simply as possible, given the reasonably challenging nature of this material."  -- Harold Nelson, Minot State University

"What I liked most about the manuscript were the teaching applications.  Too often grammar texts are too theoretical to be of much use for preservice teachers."  -- Ann Bolling, California State university, Stanislaus

" An important appeal of this book is, in my opinion, its tone and audience treatment.  The author clearly knows her audience and has developed a methodology that will be very accessible."  -- Roberta Murata, University of Nevada, Las Vegas

"Extremely well-written with excellent pedagogical devices.  Very accessible to pre-and inservice teachers."  -- Larry Andrews, University of Nebraska, Lincoln
