Linguistics for Teachers

by Michael D. Linn

Emphasizing the connections between theory, research and pedagogy, the readings should reflect the divese and multicultural nature of today's classroom. The book is designed to stand alone or to be used as a supplement to an introduction to linguistics text. The text includes chapters on dialects, teaching of grammar, syntax and teaching English as a second language.
