Ross, Janet – TESOL Quarterly, 1968
Basic to composition skill is control of sentence structure and accuracy in mechanics.

Scott, Charles T. – 1970
Noam Chomsky's numerous criticisms of formerly well-accepted beliefs about the nature of language learning (e.g. in his review of Skinner's "Verbal Behavior") have led to a diversity of views regarding the potential application of transformational theory to the teaching of English as a second language/dialect. It seems clear, moreover, that his…
