Structure of English

This course is a study of the structure of English grammar systems, especially as they relate to writing. It includes the study and practice of traditional and transformational grammar and standard usage, with emphasis on the relationship of grammar to writing (2,000 word writing requirement); it also includes the study of the history of the English language and varied methods of language acquisition within the culturally diverse population of California schools with emphasis on the Common Core. It is designed for those who plan to teach or who are especially interested in grammar as it relates to writing. One hour per week practicum is also required; this is met by tutoring in an English approved setting (15 hours total).
