- W73742006 abstract "People cry out for a return to and, with English classes, what most people understand as basic is the study of traditional grammar. Critics cite the decline in writing abilities of high school students and college freshmen, suggest that too much emphasis has been placed on thematic approaches to literature, and argue that grammar has been ignored. Many professors claim that high school English teachers are doing their job. Some colleges have instituted classes in remedial composition for freshmen and have separated the study of literature (except for the essay) from the study of rhetoric and composition, often creating separate desciplines. Many high school teachers are disgruntled because they feel that colleges have not provided responsible leadership. Attempting to follow the work of college linguists, many secondary teachers dismissed traditional grammar, only to find that some linguists offered only descriptive methods never intended to transfer to teaching principles, while other linguists supplied methods too difficult for ordinary classroom use. Compounding that, high school teachers find themselves, as do many college teachers, trying to provide what they believe may be students' last experiences with literature. We believe there are methods of using sound elements in the traditional approach to grammar and rhetoric which can be integrated with insights of newer linguistic techniques. Realizing that both of us were teaching honors students, one in high school and one in college, we proposed a dual study to test a method that proceeds through literature and keeps the study of grammar in context. Students would analyze verb forms to effect a synthesis of basics and literature. Such analysis involves students in true basics, examining the function of language in a sophisticated and enjoyable context and communicating insights in expository essay assignments. Students would gain insights into the function of tense, voice, and mood, an activity which leads to a synthesis involving other forms of speech: verbals, including participles, gerunds, and infinitives; adverbs; and, most importantly, the relationship of sentence parts, such as the subject-verb relationship. Moreover, the students would extend their insights into comprehension of literary techniques like points of view, characterization, and tone, culminating in understanding the world view of the author." @default.
