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 work investigates the efficacy of rhythmic, musical repetition as a pedagogical tool for mastering English grammatical structures. Author Carolyn Graham, a recognized expert in the field of English as a Second Language instruction, utilizes the 'Jazz Chants' methodology to bridge the gap between linguistic theory and oral fluency. The book provides a structured framework where grammatical rules are embedded within rhythmic patterns to facilitate easier memorization and natural speech production.
