            At the start of this new millennium, grammar was a broken subject. Grammar is often ignored, broken off altogether from the teaching of literature, rhetoric, drama, composition, and creative writing.

            The tensions between the traditional teaching of grammar and the goals of both confident writing and the culturally inclusive classroom entail complex issues and valid charges. We should propose answers to several questions:

• How can we teach grammar to support learning in all language skills?

• How can we teach grammar so that students discover its rules and principles on their own instead of hearing us impose those rules and principles on them?
