Grammar and Meaning has long been one of PETAA's most trusted professional resources for teachers seeking to build their knowledge of grammar and apply that knowledge in meaningful classroom contexts.
Designed to support the Australian Curriculum: English and state-based syllabus documents, the book helps teachers understand how the English language system works and how grammatical knowledge can strengthen students' reading, writing and communication.
Through practical explanations, guided activities and opportunities for reflection, teachers are supported to develop both their knowledge of grammar and their confidence in teaching it. The book complements Beverly Derewianka's A New Grammar Companion for Teachers, helping educators translate theory into classroom practice.
Inside this book you'll explore:
- The fundamentals of the English grammatical system
- Grammar as a resource for making meaning
- Practical activities and guided reflections
- Connections between grammar, literacy and learning
- Strategies for applying grammatical knowledge in classroom practice
- Functional approaches to language and meaning-making
