ENG 554 - Writing in Context

Units: 3
When Offered: Spring
This course will provide a practical, hands on approach to the study of English grammar and the application of the acquired knowledge of grammar to the classroom setting. It will be assumed that few, if any, students have had a thorough, formal study of English grammar. The approach will seek to present models for application in the literature-based curriculum prescribed by the California State Framework in English. Students will complete numerous in class exercises as well as independent work outside of class for presentation in discussion at subsequent class meetings. Students will also analyze and evaluate theoretical texts related to grammar as well as analyze and compare grammar-related discussions in broader public discourse.
Grade Type: Letter Grade
