Rules, Patterns and Words: Grammar and Lexis in English Language Teaching by Dave Willis Cambridge University Press | 2004 | ISBN: 0521536197 | 246 pages | PDF | 12 MB
Grammar is central to language pedagogy and teachers need a clear description of what constitutes grammar and how it can best be taught in the English language classroom. This book illustrates a new way of describing the grammar of spoken and written English. In an accessible style, the author demonstrates how lexical phrases, frames and patterns provide a link between grammar and vocabulary. He also discusses how the different aspects of the language require different learning processes and different teaching techniques.
