Toward the New Pedagogical Grammar of L2 English: Metalinguistic Terms for Pedagogical Grammar

This study examines pedagogical appropriateness of metalinguistic terms being used in pedagogical grammar books and English teacher’s guide books for secondary school teachers in Korea. It first presents criteria for good grammatical terms and evaluates metalinguistic terms based on the criteria. The terms are “subordinate conjunction” that, “relative pronoun” that, and “subordinate conjunction” after/before, all of which are terms from traditional grammar. This study proposes new terms for those forms and suggests that the grammatical terms in English teaching materials needs to be designed for learners, drawing upon the latest linguistics and applied linguistic research.
