- This is an immensely useful book covering a great deal of ground in an accessible and interesting way. The focus on teaching grammatical concepts through embodied learning has made me re-evaluate my own approach to teaching grammar, and the introduction to the field of cognitive linguistics as a way of exploring grammar is fascinating.
