Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation: Rhetorical Tools for Literate Uses of Language gives pre- and in-service teachers of English and English as a Foreign Language a concise look at language as a rhetorical tool, while focusing on teaching and learning about grammar, usage, and punctuation through play and experimentation. The book focuses on having readers work with language in ways that develop their meta-linguistic awareness—showing how we work language and how we make it work for us. Easy to understand and navigate, the book presents the ideas of each chapter with objectives, a discussion of the main concept(s), key assumptions and detailed applications with variations.

This book recognizes and embraces the complexities of modern English teaching. It presents English teachers and teacher educators with a critical view of current professional issues and concerns in the belief that these groups need, and want, to participate in curricular and professional reform movements that affect them and their students. The book examines such issues as the interconnectedness of the study of language, literature, and composition; curricular problems in language instruction in teacher education; the relationship between our traditional notions of literature study and our emerging view of literacy in the contemporary information age; and the ways in which current theory and research can be translated into innovative designs for the teaching of written composition. On Literacy and Its Teaching is a powerful response to the current challenge for innovation and change in English teacher education. With its broad scope, it provides a balanced overview and timely analysis of the field of English Education.
