Description
Starting from our own experience of teaching morphology (the noun phrase) to first-year students, we are going to identify and label the main challenges this grammar issue poses to both English majors and minors. These challenges have to do basically with “fuzzy concepts” and the interrelation of syntax and semantics. Our beyond-methods approach, based on empirical observation(s) and assumptions as a result of closely monitoring and evaluating the learning process, heavily relies on the “organic metaphor” according to which second language acquisition is more like growing a garden than building a wall.
