Answers
Exploring English
Skim through some
pages of any book or magazine to identify adverbial clauses and the use
of conjunctions.
- What is the proportion
of subordinating conjunctions to coordinating conjunctions?
- What proportion
of the subordinate clauses precede (or follow) the main clause?
- Can you identify
any sources of difficulty for a learner in reading and understanding
the text?
Course materials
Choose one or two
coursebooks and look at those parts which teach conjunctions and the use
of adverbial clauses.
- Are the learners
given the opportunity to notice and analyse how these are used in real
text?
- Does the material
clearly distinguish between conjunctions which can only be used after
the main clause, and those which can be used to introduce subordinate
clauses before the main clause?
- Does the material
help learners to decide what order to use for the main and subordinate
clauses where this is a matter of choice?
- What kinds of opportunity
for practice are provided?
