The least you should know about ELL grammar

 

Dr. Keith Folse

 

Teachers’ attitudes toward grammar vary widely, but what do teachers really know about ELL grammar?  What is ELL grammar and how is it different from what we all studied in 8th grade as native speakers?  Should K-12 teachers know a different base of ELL grammar than adult ed or EAP teachers?  Or does the skill area matter more so that a conversation teacher must know a different grammar than the composition or reading teacher?  In this talk, participants will have an opportunity to test their knowledge of ELL grammar issues.

 

Keith Folse is associate professor of TESOL at the University of Central Florida.  His main research interests are vocabulary and best practices in teaching grammar and composition.  He has written over fifty language books, most recently Keys to Teaching Grammar to ELLs (University of Michigan Press) and the new edition of five books of the Great Writing series (Heinle Cengage).
