The purpose of Grammar for Teachers is to encourage readers to
develop a solid understanding of the use and function of
grammatical structures in American English. It approaches grammar
from a descriptive rather than a prescriptive approach; however,
throughout the book differences between formal and informal
language, and spoken and written English are discussed. The book
avoids jargon or excessive use of technical terminology. It makes
the study of grammar interesting and relevant by presenting grammar
in context and by using authentic material from a wide variety of
sources.
