This thesis proposes a rejoining of process and product in the writing curriculum.
As writing teachers, we have to acknowledge that there comes a time when we have to
evaluate a written product. Before teachers can evaluate a product, however, they must
first teach their students how to write better products using the writing process. To make
this possible, teachers have to accept that because editing is a part of the writing process,
grammar instruction has a rightful place in the composition classroom. Instead of using
past approaches to grammar instruction that were difficult for both teachers and students,
I present a new student-friendly grammar instruction that teaches students grammar in the
context of several grammar concepts. In this grammar, I limit grammatical terminology
and focus on helping students understand the concept rather than the terminology. In
addition to the limiting of jargon, I use speech as a tool to help students further
understand the grammar they are trying to learn. I offer applications for both native and
nonnative students, and to illustrate more specifically how teachers can utilize this new
grammar, I use restrictive and nonrestrictive elements, one of the more difficult
grammatical concepts students have to learn. |
