| Linguists & language thinkers. Your opinion on prescriptive & descriptive view influencing English teaching? I want u (linguists & language thinkers) to comment on my position of NO adhering to either prescriptive or descriptive views of language teaching but really KEEPING AWARENESS of both of them, esp. because I'm NOT a native English speaker, only a latino majored in English teaching. Thus, my future Ss & I learn how English native speakers ACTUALLY communicate (descriptive) and how they (& we) should 'properly' communicate (prescriptive) I've drawn this conclusion from my 2 latest questions (see My Q&A) but I have to say I'm still UNsure about that because I made a simmilar analysis on my graduation work with the essential same conclusions and I got a grade... NOT TO BE PROUD OF. In addition, most of (grammar) books and u have the tendency to think English in the prescriptive way which causes (e.g. in my case) to feel 'lost' sometimes when understanding your speech. Finally the same situation probably happens to learners of all world languages, regarless 1ft & target language. Thanks      |
