Abstract
"The stimulus for this study came from observations of practicing teachers... who, as students, had studied the deficiencies of traditional, prescriptive grammar; and who, as teachers, nevertheless were using traditional, prescriptive methods of language instruction." To offset dissonance encountered in student teaching, the research tested whether reinforcement during preservice coursework could maintain desired attitudes toward language.
