Subject: Grammar and Writing
Friends and Colleagues,
I am looking for recommendations on teaching grammar in the context of writing, or grammar to enhance writing. Of course, I know about Connie Weaver's _Grammar to Enrich and Enhance Writing_ and Morenberg's _Writer's Options_ and Kolln's _Rhetorical Grammar_...
I am very sad to say that the Commonwealth of Virginia has just redone its requirements for teacher licensure. Previously, for decades even, we have had a relatively enlightened set of licensing criteria from the Dept. of Education. For decades, linguistics appeared prominently, with secondary teachers required to learn about the Structure of English, and Standard English usage, and elementary education teachers required to learn about different systems of linguistic structure (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax) as well as specific knowledge about dialect diversity, dialects and culture. All that is gone now. All references to linguistics in the elementary and secondary teacher licensure for VA has been removed. Knowledge of phonetics/phonology is now only in context of reading, and grammar is only in context of 'grammar, usage and mechanics in service of writing.' The only mention of linguistics and English linguistics is under the ESL licensure. So, elementary and secondary teachers at our school are no longer required to take Intro Ling and Structure of English.
Hence, I am directed to drop the linguistic approach to structure, and do grammar and writing. So, am looking for y'all's recommendations on textbooks for integrating grammar into writing. This would serve secondary education students, and also inside the Writing Concentration and Writing Minor of the English major.
Intro Ling will continue to be offered for the Linguistics Minor, and our area requirement in Global and Multicultural Perspectives (elementary ed people have, for years said this is the most valuable course they've ever taken, and were particularly impressed with the 6 week unit on language varieties, and dialect prejudice in education and society).
What say you regarding texts for teaching grammar in the service of writing.
Thx,
Rebecca

Dear Rebecca,
It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but this books specifically connects grammar with writing:
Grammar Choices for Graduate and Professional Writers
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.press.umich.edu_10022796_grammar-5Fchoices-5Ffor-5Fgraduate-5Fand-5Fprofessional-5Fwriters-5Fsecond-5Fedition&d=DwIFaQ&c=kbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r=_rMj7-Pgoc9IWqUnTVAZ6aLZ1r8V9PaRLjSW-DQVx4E&m=JVwiVv9qYBPnNlgTpdYKHd4RoS3wWijG4bBstrPCUA0&s=EYEHE3tM11BudOBb1brt6pLL0fYBWOpFsP8wnPv7r2E&e=
There is also this one, which is geared for teachers specifically and has a writing angle:
The Teacher's Grammar Book
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.amazon.com_Teachers-2DGrammar-2DBook-2DJames-2DWilliams_dp_0805852212&d=DwIFaQ&c=kbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r=_rMj7-Pgoc9IWqUnTVAZ6aLZ1r8V9PaRLjSW-DQVx4E&m=JVwiVv9qYBPnNlgTpdYKHd4RoS3wWijG4bBstrPCUA0&s=7IOw5F43Vq73hXgFVGzkGwfDvw1Gtmn5iqpeuDoHFyw&e=
I used it years ago in a course on pedagogical grammar. I didn't like it as much as some of true grammar textbooks like Cowan's Teacher's Grammar of English and Larsen-Freeman and Celce-Murcia's The Grammar Book, but it does position grammar from a curricular perspective and connects it to writing. It also has a nice section on dialectal variation.
Best,
Francis
