Abstrakt:

Grammar has been slowly reintroduced in British schools thanks to projects such as the New National Curriculum for English, which explicitly include the “understanding of grammar” and the terminology required to discuss linguistic facts as objects of teaching. Many books that focus on grammar metalanguage instruction have appeared. A qualitative analysis of strategies adopted in an effort to produce a selection of materials for young learners (Years 1-6) shows that most publications feature a multimodal popularizing approach, akin to that of other types of scientific knowledge dissemination for children. This suggests that grammar terms are treated like specialized terminology, and that, although no true recontextualization of specialized concepts can be observed, reformulation and adaptation are pervasive in order to meet the needs, tastes and cognitive skills of the young “lay reader”. For this reason, grammar teaching resources can be seen as a special form of popularization of linguistics for kids.
