This course is specially designed for secondary school teachers who want to help their pupils bridge the gap between primary and secondary English grammar. The course focuses on how grammar is taught at KS-2 based on the national curriculum, and how teachers at KS-3 can maintain continuity that helps pupils with their non-fiction reading and writing in English and other subjects.

Based on the latest developments in educational and linguistic research, the course is designed to help teachers who:

• want to explore interesting and engaging methods for teaching grammar in relation to a range of texts, genres and styles;
• want to learn about recent developments in stylistics and how this can be incorporated into a meaningful grammar pedagogy;
• want usable and accessible teaching ideas to take back into their own classrooms;
• want to maintain and develop their students’ KS2 grammatical knowledge.
