Enhancing Registers and Styles: Grammatical Dimension

Abstract This study explores the issue of acquiring stylistic grammar by University students – teacher-trainees. The results of the observation made it possible to arrive at the conclusion about the expedience of teaching stylistic grammar to junior students of language schools, but with different levels of stylistic loading. With this in mind, a corresponding methodology is designed, which incorporates a system of stylistically oriented activities. They embrace non-communicative receptive, quasi-communicative receptive-reproductive and communicative productive exercises to be employed in the English classroom. It is maintained that the employment of the proposed system of activities begins in the junior years and continues through the University course in order to obtain expected learning outcomes.
