SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

Comme il faut

In a comment to yesterday’s posting, Bev asks for sites that teach grammar, composition, and other languages. I’m pleased to report that SQE is hoping to develop a Stairway to Grammar (but don’t hold your breath). Composition I’ll tackle one of these days.

Today, though, I want to tell you about an excellent site for teaching grammar to French immersion and core French students. Here’s an article about the “Frenglish” problem, written by an Ontario French immersion teacher, and here’s a link to her site which offers a multitude of resources for classroom teachers. The bottom line is that students of a second language, unless they are truly immersed at a very young age, benefit from grammar instruction.
