 X-Word Study Presented at English USA

Sue Livingston presented at the 11th Annual IEP Professional Development Conference of The American Association of Intensive English Programs (AAIEP) – also known as "EnglishUSA"-- in San Francisco on January 18th.   

 EnglishUSA is one of the two main associations for Intensive English Programs in the United States with about 300 member associations that offer accredited intensive English programs at college and university settings or in city centers.  Audience participants, who knew nothing about X-Word Grammar, were given a brief overview of the system and then shown its effectiveness as compared with traditional grammar teaching through a PowerPoint presentation of the findings of a recent research study, The Effect of X-Word Grammar and Traditional Grammar Instruction on Grammatical Accuracy,” which appears in the journal English Language Teaching.  Researchers included Andi Toce, Cyndi Casey, Fernando Montoya, Carmela O’Flaherty and Bonny R. Hart.

What do people say about X-Word Grammar?

 

"The X-Word Grammar class wowed me from the start.

The x-words themselves are a revelation."

"Great way to help students recognize and see patterns

in things they already know, but now will stick and be easier to use!"

 

"I am intrigued by the idea of 'dicing' texts to use

in building sentences.  The language is so much richer."

 

"I love this class because X-Word Grammar helped me a lot." 

 

Letter from a student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice 

" Your lessons and everything you taught me

completely transformed me as a writer and as a student.

Thank you for teaching me the secrets of beautiful writing. 

 

Reflections from a low-intermediate student in an Intensive English Program

"This method taught me now to use grammar correctly

and write a complete sentence and correct grammatical tense. 

I think this method has had a good effect on my study. " 

 

"I taught my first demo class and introduced X-Word Grammar,

Yes/No Questions. It went extremely well, and they hired me!"

 

"This new approach to grammar is more visual and kinesthetic."

 

 " I will be able to apply x-word grammar immediately as a writing tutor in a small college"
