A '''pedagogical grammar''' is a modern approach in [[linguistics]] intended to aid in teaching an additional language. |
|||
Within the field of [[grammar]], a '''pedagogical grammar''' is a description of the rules of a grammatical system with the needs of students and teachers the foremost concern. Pedagogical grammar is used to help students improve their skills as speakers and writers of a [[language]], or for teachers as a means of mastering the vocabulary and analytical skills necessary for professional competence in the classroom. Pedagogical grammar can be distinguished from [[prescriptive grammar]] in that it does not state that there is only one correct way of speaking or writing, but may mention that there are several depending on situational context. Pedagogical grammar is also not another term for [[descriptive grammar]]. Between alternative words or grammatical usages that can be employed, usually one will be identified as being more standard than another. Pedagogical grammars are designed with the purpose of teaching a student how to use a language and are therefore organized to be useful and for ease of learning. Chapters in a pedagogical grammar book tend to be short, contain brief grammatical explanations, and normally contain exercises designed to help students practice a concept. Pedagogical grammar books are often designed to be used by learners of second or foreign languages. |

A pedagogical grammar is a modern approach in linguistics intended to aid in teaching an additional language.
Structure
[edit]This method of teaching is divided into the descriptive: grammatical analysis, and the prescriptive: the articulation of a set of rules. Following an analysis of the context in which it is to be used, one grammatical form or arrangement of words will be determined to be the most appropriate. It helps in learning the grammar of foreign languages. Pedagogical grammars typically require rules that are definite, coherent, non-technical, cumulative and heuristic.[1] As the rules themselves accumulate, an axiomatic system is formed between the two languages that should then enable a native speaker of the first to learn the second.[2]
