Grammar Nonsense and What To Do about It
Do you hate teaching some aspects of grammar? Do you ever feel frustrated that your students just don't get it? Well, in Grammar Nonsense, Andrew Walkley and Hugh Dellar argue that you shouldn't really blame yourself. The fault lies largely with the way grammar rules and methods have been passed down through training and published material and become established as the way of doing things: a straightjacket that we need to escape from. Through an entertaining series of rants and meditations on all things grammatical, from the use of the word 'grammar' to the horror of teaching verb patterns, they aim to pull apart rules which we give without thinking and to question approaches to practice that are seen as a must. Along the way, you'll not only learn how published materials get written and about ideas such as 'the transformation fallacy' and 'grammar olives', but you'll also get plenty of practical suggestions as to what to do about all this nonsense.

Understanding the Reading Needs of English Language Learners

In this book, Popko explains in practical, easy-to-understand terms the challenges that English learners face when it comes to reading. He covers the most pertinent and pressing matters impeding the learning of those students, including standards, such as the Common Core State Standards, and how content-area teachers can scaffold student instruction to meet those standards; language needs, such as the knowledge and information English learners should focus on in order to read at grade level; and sociocultural factors, such as widely ranging cultural experiences and background knowledge.

Perfect for beginners and collectors. Albert S. Cook's careful arrangement of grammar, reader, notes and vocabulary offers concise explanations, graded passages and glosses designed for self-study or classroom use. As an Old English grammar guide and Old English reader collection, it presents Anglo-Saxon language basics, including inflection, pronunciation and syntax, alongside exercises that function as a beginner Old English workbook rather than dry drills. Practical notes demystify irregular paradigms and variant spellings, while the vocabulary section gathers the essential lemmas students need to start translating with confidence. Its pacing suits independent learners, secondary-school teachers and structured undergraduate modules alike. The tone is plain, direct and attentive to detail; readers encounter the language systematically, with readable commentary that makes early English language study feel purposeful rather than obscure. Rooted in sound philological practice, the reader sheds light on structural patterns that underlie early medieval literature and supports medieval England studies through exemplars and grammatical explanation. It suits use as a historical linguistics textbook, a practical language students resource and as an adjunct to the university English curriculum, translating academic rigour into practical drills and clear annotations while illuminating English language origins. Casual readers fascinated by linguistic heritage, language students taking their first steps into Old English, and collectors of classic scholarship will all value the measured clarity of its notes and the utility of its vocabulary. As a compact classic language reference, it clarifies why the English we speak today grew from these roots rather than treating the past as an impenetrable relic. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
English Grammar Exercises
English Grammar Exercises by P. Mason, C.: a classic manual of usage, revived. Precise drills for lasting clarity. First issued as a purposeful, teacher-minded text, this english grammar workbook sets out crisp rules alongside disciplined grammar practice exercises and well-graded sentence structure lessons. Each section pares instruction to its essentials, then offers systematic work that trains punctuation and usage while reinforcing broader english language skills. The tone is unadorned and exact: explanations are brief, tasks are purposeful and repetition consolidates habit. Read as a language learning guide it supports steady progress; read as a self-study grammar book it rewards focus and discipline. The practicality of the exercises makes the volume useful in classrooms, tutorial programmes and as an esl student resource for adults and younger learners. Accessible language suits both younger learners and adults returning to study. The practice-led method favours habit and precision, so progress is steady and enduring. As an early 20th century textbook it offers a window into the pedagogical rigour of its time and endures as a classic english reference. Its economy of phrase and organised approach make the material surprisingly modern: clear sequencing, steady reinforcement and an emphasis on correct usage anticipate techniques used in later syllabuses. The exercises are adaptable; teachers can deploy them as concise warm-ups or focused revision, while independent learners use the steady repetition to build confidence and fluency consistently. For librarians, teachers and collectors it is evidence of educational practice and a welcome addition to any english grammar collection; the comprehensive grammar exercises enclosed still repay careful attention and remain an effective means to sharpen expression. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
