Who is afraid of the big G? Teaching grammar to adults
Speaker: Marcus Koch
Time: 3 - 6 pm
Grammar is central to the teaching and learning of languages. It is also one of the more difficult aspects of language to teach well and, therefore, plays a central role in every ESL / EFL teacher's classroom. The important question that needs to be answered is: how do I teach grammar? In other words, how do I help students learn the grammar they need. This question is deceptively easy. At first look, you might think that teaching grammar is just a matter of explaining grammar rules to students. However, teaching grammar effectively is a much more complicated matter.
This workshop will suggest some ways in which students may be induced to talk, using the language creatively, purposefully, and individually at various levels of the language acquisition process. It will also present a range of flexible grammar-related materials and activities, designed to meet the needs of todays learners of English.
The course will take a learner-centered and highly practical approach.
