School grammar
A school grammar or language book is a textbook that has been specially developed for the purpose of teaching in the mother tongue or a foreign language approved as a subject .
Content
School grammar deals with the grammatical rules of a language in a selection. The school grammar must present its subject in a scientifically correct form, but age-appropriate and didactically prepared, taking into account the curricula of the relevant subject, which differ according to federal state, age and school type.
The following are essential aspects for the development of school grammars:
- Agreement with the subject ( linguistics , language acquisition research )
- Consideration of didactic and methodological considerations
- Consideration of findings from youth psychology
The authors are faced with problems when considering the specialist science: Which selection must be made from the entire spectrum of the relevant science? Another crucial question is: How does it have to be presented? The problem is to adapt the methods and terminology of the specialist science to the teaching needs in such a way that they meet the desired level of education.
