Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The appearance of recent reports have drawn attention to the importance of the study of contemporary English language - particularly its grammar - in schools, teacher-training colleges, and universities. Subsequent recurring discussions in the media have highlighted a growing demand for a return to the study of the language after two decades of relative neglect.
