Grammarchants is a lively review of basic grammatical structures. Each unit opens with a "grammarchant" which presents a basic aspect of grammar, followed by a series of related chants that reinforce the structure. An answer key is included. An audio CD and Cassette features all of the chants.
This book investigates the efficacy of rhythmic repetition and musical cadence as a pedagogical tool for mastering English grammatical structures. Author Carolyn Graham, a pioneer in the field of ESL instruction, utilizes the 'Jazz Chant' methodology to transform abstract linguistic rules into memorable, rhythmic patterns. The text provides a structured framework where students engage with grammar through auditory reinforcement and repetitive vocal practice, aiming to improve both fluency and grammatical accuracy.
