Contents:
Pedagogical grammar: a framework for language teachers -- Pedagogical grammar in applied linguistics: a historical overview -- What is grammar and how can it be described? -- The lexis-grammar interface: phraseology, collocation, and formulaic sequences -- Evaluating and adapting existing materials -- Investigating grammar use through online corpora -- The dynamic nature of L2 learner language -- Instructed L2grammar acquistion: six key theory-practice links -- Designing grammer-focused communication tasks -- Assessing grammar within a framework of communicative competence -- Reflections and suggestions for further study.
Subject: This book provides a comprehensive overview of pedagogical grammar research and explores its implications for the teaching of grammar in second language classrooms. Drawing on several research domains (e.g., corpus linguistics, task-based language teaching) and a number of theoretical orientations (e.g., cognitive, sociocultural), the book proposes a framework for pedagogical grammar which brings together three major areas of inquiry: (1) descriptions of grammar in use, (2) descriptions of grammar acquisition processes, and (3) investigations of the relative effectiveness of different approach.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-242) and index (pages 243-245).
