A pedagogical grammar is designed for teaching and learning purposes rather than as a definitive analysis of a language point.
As such, the approach, content and analysis frequently differ from a linguistic grammar.
The pedagogical grammar at this site is designed to meet the needs of Arabic speakers learning English; the focus is on helping students improve accuracy in academic writing.
There is a strong contrastive nature to the analysis as some (but not all) errors result from transfer from the mother-tongue.
The content is based on analyses of students' writing.
