The Modern English Grammar course offers you a vocabulary and techniques for understanding the “standard” in standard written English. You will master terms and learn to recognize the sentence components that these terms describe. Once you can recognize and name components, you will be able to analyze sentences. As we will see, an analytical understanding of grammar will enable us to study literary, scholarly, and popular texts on a deeper level. In addition to exploring advanced grammatical concepts, this course will also address the importance of literacy and valuing the diverse ways in which English is used.
