Preface to knthapura indian writing in english
Raja Rao's preface to Kanthapura discusses the challenges facing Indian authors writing in English and offers advice on overcoming them. It addresses the need for Indian writers to develop a unique style that captures the spirit and ideology of India while writing in English. This short treatise had a significant impact on how subsequent generations of Indian writers approached writing in English.
Grammar
The document discusses the different perspectives on what constitutes grammar. It describes prescriptive grammars which define rules of correctness, and descriptive grammars which aim to describe how language is used. Applied linguistics focuses on pedagogical grammars for language learners. Theoretical models of grammar, like Chomsky's generative grammar and Hymes' functional model, influence applied linguistics. Descriptive grammars aim to describe language as used but must consider both spoken and written forms. The relationship between grammar and vocabulary is interdependent, and language consists of prefabricated chunks where the boundary is blurred. Views of grammar have changed over the years to recognize its complex and multidimensional nature in teaching.

Grammar
This document discusses different approaches to grammar including formal grammar, functional grammar, and corpus linguistics. It addresses how grammar is studied from the perspectives of morphology, syntax, phonology, semantics and pragmatics. The document also contrasts Chomsky's focus on grammatical competence versus functional grammarians' emphasis on language use and communicative purpose. It notes debates around teaching grammar for communication and the role of focus on form, interaction, and discourse.
Communicative Competence and Language Testing
This document discusses the history and development of communicative competence and its impact on language testing. It begins by defining communicative competence as introduced by Hymes in 1966. It then discusses how models of communicative competence proposed by Canale and Swain in 1980 and Bachman in 1990 shifted language testing paradigms to focus on usage over structures. A key test discussed is IELTS, which evaluates English proficiency across four skills and has undergone revisions to better test communicative competence.
Pedagogical grammar
Pedagogical grammar occupies a middle ground between the areas of prescriptive and descriptive grammar. Simply put, prescriptive grammar sets forth rules about how language should be used correctly. It prescribes language the way a doctor prescribes medicine by saying what ought to be done. Descriptive grammar, on the other hand, describes how speakers actually use language without consideration for whether it conforms to "proper" rules.
Since the goal of pedagogical grammar is to help non-native speakers achieve fluency, some of both approaches is necessary. In order for a language learner to speak well, most of his or her utterances will need to conform to the grammatical rules set forth in prescriptive grammar. On the other hand, it helps to understand the way native speakers actually use language; through descriptive grammar. This is necessary for the learner to make sense of slang or other non-standard ways of speaking, such as ending sentences with prepositions.
Introduction topedagogicalgrammar
This document discusses the history and developments of pedagogical grammar. It went through four shifts: from prescription to description, from focusing on sentence structures to meaning, viewing language as a system to viewing it as communication, and finally focusing on the code to focusing on the learner. It provides examples of how grammar can signal different meanings through arrangement of forms.
Language description (Applied Linguistics)
This document describes different approaches to analyzing and describing language:
1. Classical/Traditional Grammar analyzes the grammatical function of each word based on inflections as in Latin and Greek.
2. Structural Linguistics describes grammar through syntagmatic sentence structures and notions of time, number, gender.
3. Transformational Generative Grammar argues structural descriptions are superficial and do not explain relationships of meaning between surface structures.
4. Language Variation and Register Analysis examines how language varies according to context, such as areas of knowledge in English for Specific Purposes.
5. Functional/Notional Grammar focuses on social functions like advising or describing, and how the human mind thinks in

A socially dynamic approach to teaching grammar
This document proposes a socially dynamic approach to teaching grammar that explores the different languages students bring to class and applies real-life contexts. It suggests shifting from viewing language as right vs wrong to seeing students as collaborators in sharing language. Descriptive grammar allows students to learn without the idea of a single correct form, instead recognizing language is governed by social situations. Code-switching and code-meshing are recommended, starting by teaching terms like register, dialect, and crossing-over to show how grammar adapts to situations.
Functional grammar
Functional theories of grammar view language functions as key to understanding structures. Functional grammar models like Functional Grammar and Functional Discourse Grammar focus on language use in context rather than formal relations. Functional theories assign semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic functions to constituents. Systemic functional grammar developed by Halliday also analyzes language use. Functional linguistics research in Denmark integrates morphosyntactic, semantic and pragmatic features to understand language potential and use.
Pg lecture describing grammar1
The document provides an overview of pedagogical grammar and cognitive grammar. It discusses the challenges of learning grammar, the dimensions of grammar including form, meaning and use, and assumptions of cognitive grammar such as grammar reflecting human experiences and generalizations about the world. Key cognitive processes like categorization, metaphor and metonymy are described as shaping grammar.
Strategic Competence
This document summarizes a presentation on strategic competence for a course on linguistic applied to language teaching. It outlines that the presentation will cover the basic concept of strategic competence, components/models of strategic competence including message adjustment strategies and resource expansion strategies. It will also cover Bachman and Palmer's models of strategic competences. The basic concept of strategic competence is defined as verbal and non-verbal communication strategies that can be used to compensate for breakdowns in communication due to performance issues or insufficient competence, as postulated by Canale and Swain in 1980.
Grammar translation method
The document discusses the Grammar Translation Method, a traditional approach for teaching Latin and ancient Greek. The goal was to develop logical thinking, intellectual abilities, and the ability to read original texts through translating sentences and analyzing grammar rules. While originally used for "dead" languages, it was later applied to modern foreign language teaching. Key features included teaching in the native language with little active use of the target language, focusing on memorizing vocabulary lists and grammar rules, translating texts, and giving little attention to pronunciation or communication. Some advantages were that it required few teacher skills and tests were easily scored, but disadvantages were that it could be boring and not develop communicative skills. The method is still sometimes used due to standardized tests not assessing communication and
Grammar ppt
This document discusses approaches to teaching grammar and provides examples of tasks that can be used. It describes both descriptive and generative grammar. The inductive approach is suggested, proceeding from examples to help learners induce rules. Tasks should involve meaningful context and activities to internalize and generate rules. Errors should be prioritized and corrected based on communicative needs to avoid demotivation.
Language descriptions
This document outlines the six main stages in the development of ideas about language that have influenced English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It discusses: 1) Classical/traditional grammar, 2) Structural linguistics, 3) Transformational Generative (TG) grammar, 4) Language variation and register analysis, 5) Functional/Notional grammar, and 6) Discourse analysis. For each stage, it provides background information on the theories and how they related to and influenced the development of ESP.
Language description and functional Grammar
Functional grammar analyzes language based on choices and how grammar constructs meaning in context. It looks at analyzing experience, interaction, and message construction. Functional grammar in ESP deals with analyzing processes, participants, circumstances, mood, modality, and clause combining. Notional grammar expresses ideas and social behaviors that do not vary across languages. Functional grammar is useful for ESP as it focuses on actual language use and human thinking. Some advantages are that it provides an inventory of language elements and is based on factual study of language use.
Assessing grammar report
This document discusses models of communicative language ability and the role of grammar within those models. It summarizes Lado's skills-and-elements model which viewed language as separate skills of phonology, structure, and lexicon. Later models recognized grammar's relationship to meaning and context. Canale and Swain's model defined grammatical competence as rules of form and meaning, but did not distinguish their relationship. Bachman and Palmer's comprehensive model views language ability as consisting of organizational knowledge, including grammatical and textual knowledge, and pragmatic knowledge, including functional and sociolinguistic knowledge. It defines the components of grammar and their relationship to meaning and language use.
Communicative methodology (communicative language teaching) UMBB
This document outlines the communicative methodology approach to teaching language. It defines communicative competence and discusses the roles of teachers, students, and instructional materials. The communicative methodology emphasizes interaction, fluency over accuracy, and using the target language in meaningful contexts. It provides advantages like increasing engagement but also challenges like requiring more preparation from teachers. The document compares this approach to previous methods like the grammar translation and audiolingual methods.
Celce murcia, larsen-freeman introduction (1999)
The authors discuss two fundamental goals of second language acquisition (SLA): using language grammatically and being able to communicate. They also mention the disagreement in SLA on whether to focus on teaching grammar rules or grammar as a skill. The authors propose a conceptual framework for teaching grammar that focuses on form, meaning, and use at three grammatical levels: subsentential, sentential, and suprasentential. They note that language is mutable and organic, and grammar should be explained through reasons rather than rigid rules.
What is pedagogical grammar?
This document discusses pedagogical grammar and how it differs from other types of grammar. Pedagogical grammar is defined as a hybrid grammar that draws from descriptive grammar, prescriptive grammar, grammar as an internalized system, and grammar as a set of axioms. It focuses on how to best present grammatical concepts to promote learning. The document provides examples of grammatical items and discusses which approach - prescription, description, innate system or axioms - would be best to teach each item.
Cognitive processing in non alphabetic languages
This document discusses cognitive processing in non-alphabetic languages like Chinese. It notes that Chinese has over 1.2 billion native speakers and is written with characters rather than an alphabet. Each character represents both a morpheme and a syllable. Chinese characters are composed of radicals arranged in different positions, and research shows radicals are processed both as individual characters and as parts of complex characters. Reading Chinese involves processing individual characters rather than spaces between words. Bilingual language development research finds that morphological awareness skills transfer between English and Chinese.
Esp753
The document discusses various theories and approaches to describing language, including classical grammar, structural linguistics, transformational generative grammar, functional/notional grammar, and discourse analysis. It notes that different language learning tasks may be more easily divided according to functional/notional categories rather than formal grammar, and emphasizes that language description does not necessarily imply implications for language pedagogy.
PEDAGOGICAL Grammar
The document summarizes different approaches to teaching second languages throughout history. The grammar translation approach focused on memorization of rules without communication. The direct method aimed to acquire grammar through oral practice like first language learning. Audiolingualism was also structural and grammar-focused using drills. Later, cognitive approaches emphasized universal grammar and explicit instruction, while humanistic approaches prioritized meaningful interaction and communication through tasks.
Language description4
This document discusses different approaches to language description and analysis throughout history. It describes traditional grammar, structural linguistics, transformational generative grammar, and language variation and register analysis. Transformational generative grammar argued that structural descriptions were too superficial because they only described surface structure and not deeper relationships of meaning. The concept of language variation led to the development of English for Specific Purposes, which analyzed registers of language associated with specific contexts such as fields of knowledge.
Discourse analysis 2017
Discourse is a set of utterances that make up a conversation or speech. It exists within a context and uses pragmatic cues, unlike a text which is a recorded discourse removed from its original context. Discourse controls and organizes a text before and during the writing process, showing that texts and discourses rely on each other. Linguistic forms can have transactional functions to communicate information or interactional functions to build social relationships. Written texts are structured products that authentically preserve the author's expression, while spoken texts exist as a process where paralinguistic cues are lost upon orthographic transcription.
Functional Grammar
This document discusses various theories of functional grammar. It begins by defining text and explaining how functional theories of grammar see language as a tool used to carry out functions. It then outlines several prominent functional theories including systemic functional grammar, functional discourse grammar, role and reference grammar, and lexical functional grammar. For each theory, it discusses their key concepts and how they differ from formal theories of grammar by focusing on how language is used in context rather than just formal relations. It also covers concepts within functional theories like transitivity and the analysis of experience, interaction, and message construction.
Lexical bundles
The document discusses lexical bundles, which are frequently occurring multi-word expressions in a given register or genre. Lexical bundles are not complete grammatical structures or idioms, but rather bridge phrases. They serve important functions in constructing discourse and indicating success within discourse communities. The document provides examples of lexical bundles from conversation and academic prose and categorizes them based on structural patterns and functional classification. It also discusses the importance of teaching lexical bundles to language learners.
Title: The Sense of an Ending
The document is a paper submitted for an M.A. program discussing the novel "The Sense of an Ending" by Julian Barnes. It discusses how the title invites multiple interpretations and Barnes' characteristically layered writing style.
