Traditional
treatments of grammar:
Lack
valid content:
Their
definitions--
including those of the foremost
components of the sentence--are either untrue or nonexclusive.
Are
missing a goal:
They lack the goal to instill command of sentence structure.
Use
inadequate strategies:
None of their strategies are failsafe.
Use
superficial
strategies:
Almost none of their strategies are hands-on in
nature--that is, experience-based.
Are
missing
content:
They do not teach the many other ways sentences can begin.
Have
failed to seek a key
outcome:
They neither teach nor enable internalization of the natural
groupings of words.
Have
omitted the backdrop for rules of usage:
They neither explain nor
demonstrate why English works the way it
does.
