Join leading language authorities to reflect on the state of, and attitudes towards, English grammar and vocabulary
Recent developments in the National Curriculum have placed the teaching of grammar in schools once more at centre stage and divided opinion among politicians, teachers, linguists and journalists, as well as the wider public. How have teachers implemented changes to their teaching and learning programmes to adapt to the new syllabuses and assessment criteria? What resources are available for students, teachers and the general public to learn more about English grammar? What is or should be the role of English grammar teaching in schools today and why is this so controversial? What do teachers, professionals, academics and the general public feel is the cultural and educational significance of knowledge about the language?
Join us at the British Library for a day of talks and discussion and feel free to ask our panel of experts to explore any aspect of English grammar from ain’t to innit.
Your ticket includes tea and coffee.
Organised by University College London, the University of Oxford, the British Library and the Philological Society, with support from the University of Oxford, the British Library and the Philological Society.
