Teaching grammar through an easy-to-understand three-dimensional model, MAP Grammar establishes the clause as the fundamental unit of English and interprets meaning units in the sentence, thus allowing visualizable association between individual grammar items. By focusing on the order of meaning (rather than the order of words) in a sentence, MAP Grammar also distills current descriptive sentence structures (typically taught as five or seven patterns) into one meaning-based sentence structure for teaching and learning. MAP Grammar makes syllabus design and teaching easier in the following ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eVisualizing English grammar in a clear model, allowing association between individual grammar items.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstruction relies on meaning, not metalanguage, making MAP Grammar easy to grasp.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe meaning-based sentence structure allows teachers to address global errors, and learners to produce comprehensible English.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAkira Tajino\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Educational Linguistics and Director of the International Academic Research and Resource Center for Language Education (i-ARRC) at Kyoto University, Japan.
