The last grammar I want to learn
 |
Description
Book Introduction
As the title suggests, this book is the last in the grammar series that I want to learn.
When I started the first book in the series, "Grammar I Want to Learn," I struggled a lot with whether to continue or quit.
Every time, my co-author, Mr. Yunju Ahn, convinced me that grammar is really necessary when teaching in schools, and that's how I got here.
Contrary to my concerns when I first wrote the book, I have heard directly and indirectly from teachers in the field that this book is very helpful in teaching grammar.
I also heard from prospective teachers preparing for the teacher certification exam that this book was helpful in laying the foundation for grammar.
Maybe that's why so many people didn't buy this book.
These responses ultimately became the driving force that allowed me to write my third book, "The Last Grammar I Want to Learn."
Grammar is not a subject to be memorized.
You can't properly understand grammar by studying by memorization.
Because I can't understand it, it's not fun and it just feels difficult.
Because it is boring and difficult, there are cases where people study by memorizing first and then looking at it.
If you memorize the content like that, you can get a sense of self-satisfaction as if you know it.
However, grammar is a subject that analyzes phenomena and explores the principles or rules inherent in the phenomena from the analyzed facts.
So, without being able to analyze the data, simply memorizing propositional knowledge like “a morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit” will not do anything.
What you really need to study is being able to analyze morphemes in given data and explain that what you have analyzed is a morpheme.
Analyzing data in this way, and understanding and explaining phenomena through such analysis, is what we really need to learn and teach in grammar classes.
If you want to study grammar properly, you must first abandon the attitude of memorizing it first.
Only when you stop trying to memorize and start observing, analyzing, and understanding will you truly open your eyes to studying grammar.
Studying grammar is the process of observing linguistic phenomena, analyzing the observed results, and explaining those results for yourself using the knowledge you have learned so far.
One of the reasons I started writing the Grammar series was to show this process, even if only a little.
So, I hope that through this book, there will be at least one less person who thinks of grammar as a subject to be memorized.
