As a writer, teacher or other wordy creative, do you feel you should know more about grammar, but find it difficult to absorb the principles? You're not alone. For many people, words like preposition and adverbial trigger images of angry red pen marks or other forms of grammar shaming. With equal parts wisdom and humour, Jodie Clark shares a new approach to grammar that she's developed over more than 20 years of linguistics research and teaching. Her unique methods have made grammar enjoyable, accessible and shame-free for hundreds of teachers, writers and university English students.
- Learn step-by-step ways of accessing your intuitions about grammar
- Test your knowledge with exercises
- Spark your creativity with writing prompts
- Discover the creative ways writers have played with grammatical structure in works of literature
What I love about Refreshing Grammar is its approach, which is a revelation to me, and really suits the way I like to learn. It has opened up a world of language in a way that hasn't been available to me. Refreshing Grammar offered new strategies and ways of thinking which I genuinely went into the classroom the next day and applied. I was fairly confident about grammar but found Jodie's approach much more intuitive, as did our students.
-Isobel, Head of English I can truly say that Refreshing Grammar has transformed my teaching and enabled our students to achieve much more and gain higher marks in their writing. Jodie is clearly passionate about the subject and that was infectious, made me enjoy learning!
