I am looking for papers (articles / chapters / presentations) which report on studies that examined the grammatical knowledge/awareness of teachers of English as a foreign/second language (ELT / TESOL) or teachers of English to L1 primary/secondary students. Please note that I am interested in the grammatical knowledge of *practising* teachers -- not trainee teachers.
Hi Costas, I haven’t been following the literature on teacher cognition since my days as a doctoral student, but here are two good papers (by Simon Borg) that I know of on teacher cognition and grammar:
1. Borg, S. (1998). Teachers' pedagogical systems and grammar teaching: A qualitative study. TESOL Quarterly, 32(1), 9-38.
2. Phipps, S., & Borg, S. (2009). Exploring tensions between teachers’ grammar teaching beliefs and practices. System, 37(3), 380-390.
They’re both rather date, but they should be useful. Also, of course, you can check more recent papers that have cited these two papers.
Cheers,
Joe
Thank you, Joe!
I've already read quite a few papers by Borg -- I'll add these to my 'to read' list.

Hello , Dr Gabrielatos, Although that is not a scientific paper, you may wish to take a look at the following blog. A few names about your query are being mentioned in the post.

Thank you, Umut! I'm sure there'll be something (even indirectly) relevant there.
Thank you, Sergiy Voznesenskyy -- they all seem very useful.
