Rethinking Grammar Instruction
Sean Ruday
Associate Professor and Program Coordinator of English Education at Longwood University

In this video, I address the question “How can teachers make grammar instruction engaging, relevant, and effective?” I describe an instructional process in which teachers share authentically used grammatical concepts in published texts with their students, help them understand the importance of those grammatical concepts, and work with the students as they apply those concepts to their own work. In doing so, I make specific connections to today’s distance-learning educational environment.
