Grammar

Annotated Research

Question: Does instruction in grammar improve writing?

Answer: “Students who were taught systematic grammar scored better on grammar tests but did not score better on essays.” JJ Heiman. 1988. P. 211.

Comment: Teachers can rather easily replicate this research. Maybe they should. RayS.
