"Teaching French Grammar in Context is intended to help teachers and teacher trainers develop an understanding of French discourse that is grounded in recent theoretical and sociolinguistic research. It will inform experienced teachers and teachers-in-training about cutting-edge methods for teaching grammar and about the grammatical features of the French language in its social context. At the same time, it provides suggestions for applying such abstract knowledge in practical pedagogical ways." "This book is devoted to the exemplification of various practices for teaching discourse grammar that can be easily incorporated into today's French language classrooms."--Jacket.
