What is Grammar? 04/02/393Slide4

What is Grammar?Rules of the language.Grammar can be defined as ‘the way words are put together to make correct sentences’.Grammar is set of rules specifying the correct order words at sentence level.Grammar is a language and how we use it.Grammatical meaning, grammar does not only affect the form of the sentence but also must have a precise meaning.

Teaching GrammarOne of the most difficult aspects of teaching.If you have a class of learners with similar learning styles, you can afford to use a similar approach.

If you have a class of mixed learning styles then you need to try to provide instruction using as many different methods as possible.

Teacher

explains rules to the students (standard).

Learners discover grammar rules while working through exercises. Slide7

Inductive and DeductiveDeductive is known as a 'top down' approach. This is the standard teaching approach that has a teacher explaining rules to the students. For example:

The present perfect is made up of the auxiliary verb 'have' plus the past participle. It is used to express an action which has begun in the past and continues into the present moment... etc.

Inductive and Deductive Inductive is known as a 'bottom up' approach. In other words, students discovering grammar rules while working through exercises. For example: A

reading comprehension which includes a number of sentences describing what a person has done up to that period in time. After doing the reading comprehension, the teacher could begin to ask questions such as: How long has he done this or that? Has he ever been to Paris? etc. and then follow with When did he go to Paris?

To help the students inductively understand the difference between the simple past and the present perfect. For example:

Did the boys played football last Friday?

- Have you been to London?

Deductive or Inductive04/02/399Deductive Approach

Pros

Gets to the point quickly

Saves time for more examples

Cons

Teaches grammar in an isolated way

Can feel mechanical and/or boring

Inductive Approach

Pros

Self-discovered rules are more memorable

Involves more student interaction

Encourages independent learning

Cons

Time consuming

Students may incorrectly deduce rules, leading to

confusion/frustrationSlide10

Deductive or InductiveA teacher can choose one of these two approaches or mix between them based on the class situation. Slide11

Class Instructions When Teaching Grammar Skills: Begin with an exercise, game, listening, etc. that introduces the grammar concept. Ask students questions that will help them identify the grammar concept to be discussed.

Follow with another exercise that more specifically focuses on the grammar concept, but takes an inductive approach. This could be a reading exercise with questions and responses in the structure that is being taught.

4) Check responses, ask students to explain the grammar concept that has been introduced. 5) At this point introduce teaching explanations as a way of clearing up misunderstandings. 6) Provide an exercise which focuses on the correct construction of the grammar point. This could be an exercise such as a fill the gap activity. 7) Ask students to once again explain the concept.

How to Teach GrammarEvery grammar class can address all learning styles. You can make each stage of the process of learning grammar interesting.Plan what grammar you will teach and what order you will use.Understand and employ the basic four steps of teaching grammar: presentation, practice,

performance and feedback

13Slide14

Step 1- Present the grammar as you choose, inductively or deductively. You can explain the rules first if you like. Then read a story or show a video clip that demonstrates the grammar point. Or reverse the order by first teaching a skit that exemplifies the grammar. Then explain the rules.Step 2- Use the practice stage to allow students to start using the new structure. Many textbooks provide sentence practice at this stage. The sentences of the exercises can form a continuous story or dialog. 04/02/39

14Slide15

Step 3- Give students a variety of creative opportunities in the performance stage. Performance can include games, songs, role playing, creative writing, stories and more. Play a short video, for example. Pause it every few minutes and ask students what is going to happen next to practice the future.Step 4- Don't forget feedback. While presenting rules, ask if students understand. During the practice phase, correct all mistakes. 04/02/39

present perfect tenses. Let each student selects his/her favorite celebrity.

Ask students to summarize
