Biography

Barbara M. Birch is Professor in the Department of Linguistics at California State University, Fresno.

"This book is a good guide for pedagogical purposes on teaching grammar. Bringing a different perspective to the world of grammarians, Birch fills important gaps for those of us who want to teach grammar not only by looking at the stable forms but also by considering the regional and dialectal versions. Overall, Birch has written a valuable book that addresses important issues in teaching grammar with a new perspective." —Teaching English as a Second Language Electronic Journal
