Listen "Episode 23: Grammar... friend or foe?"
Episode Synopsis
Let's talk about the G-word: grammar. It’s a bit of a Marmite subject. People seem to love it or hate it, and for some it is a trigger word. There is often a conflation of linguistics with the ‘naming of parts’ and subjects, verbs and objects. Grammar can be a real bone of contention in education too, and even cause ripples in politics. To untangle the issue of grammar teaching in school, I spoke to Dr Ian Cushing from Brunel University in London about where we are now with grammar education, and where we might want to aim for next.
