Alexander's Grammar Teaching Method in New Concept English

摘要

This paper explores L.G. Alexander's English grammar teaching method in New Concept English (NCE), for the two reasons as follows: (a) NCE's popularity in China and (b) my personal appreciation for the grammar teaching method applied in NCE. The paper specifically focuses on the analysis of Alexander's grammar teaching, recognizing it as a covert grammar teaching method and discusses the advantage and disadvantage of this grammar teaching.
