商品簡介
For undergraduate and graduate English language arts courses or for use by classroom teachers, this resource describes alternative approaches to teaching language. Andrews (U. of Nebraska-Lincoln) explains the idea of language exploration and awareness, and its elements of communication, words and lexicography, grammar and spelling, discourse and social conventions, variations, meaning, and discrimination. In this edition, chapters have been updated for new developments in the field of English and language arts education; new student activities and web references have been added. Additionally, the No Child Left Behind Act, imbalances in curriculum, human communication, the difference between use and usage, social discourse, and dialects are discussed. Semantics, intolerant language, and teaching English-language learners are other new topics. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
