APPROACHES

1. Teaching Grammar and Style in Stylistics: Ronald Carter's Approach This presentation introduces Ronald Carter's approach to teaching grammar and style in stylistics. Carter's framework offers tools for analyzing literary and non-literary texts. The integration of grammar and style is essential in language learning. Stylistics is defined as the study of language in literature. by Rojeal Castro

2. Context and Creativity: Carter's Key Principles Authentic Texts Carter emphasizes authentic texts and real-world language use. Examples include poems, news articles, advertisements, and speeches. Integrating Creativity Activities encourage students to experiment with language. This fosters a deeper understanding of stylistic choices. Analyzing the persuasive techniques in a political speech demonstrates Carter's principles.

3. Grammatical Framework: Beyond Traditional Rules 1 Descriptive Approach Moving beyond prescriptive grammar. Focusing on patterns and functions of grammatical structures. 2 Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) SFL is a tool for analyzing texts. Halliday's SFL views language as a resource for meaning-making. Analyzing the use of transitivity in a news report helps understand agency assignment.

4. Exploring Lexical Choices: Vocabulary and Style Word Choices Analyzing word choices and their stylistic effects. Understanding the nuances of language. Collocation and Semantic Prosody How words typically occur together and their associated connotations. Examining word relationships. Corpus Linguistics Using large databases of text to identify patterns of language use. Discovering hidden meanings. Analyzing metaphors and similes in a poem reveals impact of lexical choices.

5. Stylistic Devices: Identifying and Interpreting Effects 1 Common Devices Overview of common stylistic devices. Metaphor, simile, irony, alliteration, and more. 2 Contribution to Meaning Analyzing how devices contribute to meaning and impact. Understanding their role in communication. 3 Practical Exercises Identifying stylistic devices in various texts. Discussing their effects on the reader. Analyzing the use of irony in a short story shows the contrast between expectation and reality.

6. Classroom Activities: Practical Applications Text Analysis Analyzing texts using Carter's framework. Discovering deeper meanings and interpretations. Creative Writing Experimenting with language and style. Creating original texts that demonstrate understanding. Discussion and Reflection Sharing analyses and reflecting on the relationship between grammar, style, and meaning. Expanding knowledge. Students can rewrite a news article from a different perspective, demonstrating their skills.

7. Assessment Strategies: Evaluating Stylistic Understanding Analytical essays: analyze the style of a text. Showcasing understanding. Creative writing projects: original texts demonstrating stylistic principles. Creative expression. Presentations and discussions: present analyses and discuss style. Engaging learning. Incorporate peer review and feedback for a more collaborative assessment process.

8. Conclusion: The Enduring Relevance of Carter's Approach 1 Key Principles 2 Critical Thinking 3 Creative Skills Carter's approach develops critical thinking and creative writing skills. Empowering students to become effective communicators. Encouraging further exploration of stylistics in various fields.

9. TEST TIME!!!

10. TEST 1. MULTIPLE CHOICE According to Ronald Carter, which of the following is NOT a key principle of his approach to stylistics? Emphasizing traditional prescriptive grammar Encouraging creativity in language use Analyzing real-world texts Using Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) 2. What is the purpose of collocation and semantic prosody in stylistics? To analyze the rhythm of poetry To study how words typically occur together and their connotations To focus on sentence diagramming To identify common spelling errors 3. Systemic Functional Linguistics views language as: A set of rigid grammatical rules A resource for meaning-making in different contexts A structure focused only on vocabulary A tool to memorize sentence structures 4. In carter’s Approach, authentic texts are used because they: Help students memorize grammar Show how language is used in real-world situations Are easier to analyze than made-up examples Contain only formal language structures 5. Which activity best demonstrate Ronald Carter’s approach to stylistics? Filling out grammar worksheets Analyzing metaphors and irony in a news article Listing down as many verbs as possible Practicing pronunciation drills

11. TEST 2. IDENTIFICATION The study of language in literature, focusing on how style and grammar contribute to meaning. The approach that moves beyond prescriptive grammar by analyzing patterns and functions of grammatical structures. A large collection of texts used to study language patterns and hidden meanings. The stylistics device that contrasts expectations with reality, often used for humor or critique. The process of rewriting a news article from a different perspective to demonstrate understanding of style.

12. TEST 3. TRUE OR FALSE Ronald Carter’s approach discourages creativity in language learning. Analyzing stylistics device like metaphors and similes helps students understand a texts deeper meaning. Corpus linguistics involves using a database of texts to examine language patterns. Carter’s approach relies only on literary texts and ignores real-world language use. Rewriting a text from a different viewpoint is an effective way to apply stylistics principles.
