| This class aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge base for English language grammar. The course content includes a variety of grammar topics of spoken and written English. Designed for advanced English language learners, the course will provide not only the forms and structures but also possible choices in different situations. When grammar is considered, the focus is traditionally on the form and meaning of a specific grammar construction (most of the time) out of context. This course, however, takes forms and meaning as intertwined; and to be able to systematically study English, we will start with the basics and move progressively into more advanced level. In the second half of the course, our focus will also be on how to teach grammar. |
