Grammar Anthology

Grammar Anthology is a collection of students’ essays as the
outcome of Grammar in Discourse course taught in 5 classes. This
writing project is assigned to provide opportunity for students to
practice composing academic writing while applying theories of
Grammar in Discourse . Moreover, as designed in the OutcomeBased Curriculum, this anthology can be a media for the students to
express their opinions and map ideas based on contemporary facts
they found in everyday life contexts.
As we are reading and editing the anthology, we cannot help
but be profoundly impressed by the perspectives our students have
brought up in their writings. In this book, you would see how English
grammatical units which are adapted from Grammar and Beyond
book 3 (Blass et al., 2013) are rooted. The grammatical units such as
subordinators and prepositions, transition words and phrases,
adverb clauses, comparatives, parallel structure, the passives, and ‘it’
constructions are studied and implemented to express ideas on
cause-effect, comparison-contrast, classifications and definitions, and
problem solution. Those units are employed to discuss factual life
subjects such as cultural values, inventions, human motivation,
millennials and media in short essays. These essays are then
classified in accordance to the following categories: Social
Responsibility, Human Behaviour, Business dan Nutrition and Health.
