Grammar may be defined as the rules of a
language, governing the way in which words
are put together to convey meaning in
different contexts. (Nesamalar Chitravelu;
Sararatha Sithamparam & The Soo Choon,
2005)
Grammar is generally a thought to be set of
rules specifying the correct ordering of words
at the sentence level (Nunan, 2003)
Grammar is a description of the rules that
govern how a language’s sentences are formed
(Thornbury, 2008)
Introduction to grammar & Approaches in teaching grammar
Accuracy
• Accuracy is the ability to produce correct
sentences using correct grammar and vocabulary.
Fluency
• Fluency is the ability to read, speak, or write
easily, smoothly, and expressively.
• In other words, the speaker can read, understand
and respond in a language clearly and concisely
while relating meaning and context.

or-accuracy-speaking
Comparisons of Accuracy-oriented
activities & Fluency-oriented activities
Accuracy acitivities Fluency activities
Purposes to help students achieve
accurate perception and
production of a target item
which can be a sound, a
word, or a sentence
structure.
to help students practice
language in listening,
speaking, reading, and/or
writing activities to so
develop fluency in using
the language in
spontaneous
communication.
Material the texts are usually
composed of separate
items: the target items are
usually practiced out of
context or situation;
the texts are usually whole
pieces of discourses:
conversation, stories, etc.;
texts are usually authentic
and used as they would be
in real life.
Activities students' attention is
focused on a particular
target item; their output
is usually predictable;
their performance is
assessed on how few
language mistakes are
made; students' errors
are corrected; tasks do
not usually simulate
real-life situations.
students' attention is
focused on
communicating
information and
expressing ideas; their
output may not always
be predictable; their
performance is assessed
on how well ideas are
expressed or
understood; students'
errors are not corrected
unless it interferes with
communication; tasks
often simulate real-life
situations.

Accuracy : grammar presentations, gap-fill
exercises, frame dialogues.
Fluency : role plays, speeches, communicative
activities, games.
GRAMMAR OF YOUNG
LEARNERS
Young Learners…..
Different kinds of grammatical knowledge at
different learning stages.
Only understand rules to use them.
Do not need to have conscious grammar
knowledge.
Kinds of grammar
knowledge required for
young learners
1) Knowledge of Word Order
• Basic sentence patterns.
• Position of word classes. (adjectives, adverbs,
prepositions & words like only, please and just.
• Declarative – Abu is playing
• Interrogative – Is Abu playing?
• Imperative – Abu, play.
• Exclamatory – Abu is playing!

happily; noun-happiness )
3) Knowledge of Form & Function
• Functions of language – to communicate to
persuade, to express agreement, thanks,
appreciation & to ask for and give information.
• Forms – Words, phrases and sentences that
are used to express those functions of
language.
Knowledge of Form & Function

different grammatical options
• Sentences formed to express the same content
contain different forms which have different
meanings.

The Place of Grammar
in the
Primary ESL Classroom
KBSR
SUKATAN PELAJARAN KURIKULUM BERSEPADU
SEKOLAH RENDAH – BAHASA INGGERIS, 2001
Grammar also forms part of the language contents of
the syllabus. These grammar items need to be taught
in context and in a meaningful way so that they can be
used both in speech and in writing. The grammar items
can be reinforced and consolidated if learners are
encounter the items often enough through the various
tasks set. The grammar items should not be taught in
isolation but rather in the context of a topic.

KSSR
DOKUMEN STANDARD
KURIKULUM SEKOLAH RENDAH – BAHASA INGGERIS
TAHUN 1 & 2
Grammar Modular - The inclusion of the module on Grammar emphasizes the
importance of having pupils develop a sound grasp of
the language structures and grammar of Standard British
English.
KSSR Syllabus - Grammar is no longer part of the modules in KSSR syllabus
for Year 1 and 2. The reason for this is because English is
regarded as the second language of most pupils in schools.
Therefore, the teaching of grammar can be delayed to the
later stage, which is from Year 3 to Year 6.
SOURCE :
http://www.moe.gov.my/bpk/kssr_docs/03%20Bahasa%20Inggeris/01%20
DSK%20English%20Y1-%20SK.pdf
Why grammar is introduced from Year
3 onwards ?
English is the second language for pupils in schools.
It is believed prudent and pedagogically sound to
defer the learning of grammar to a later stage.
Pupils should be given the opportunity to develop
an awareness of grammar in their first language
and this awareness may then be exploited when
English grammar is introduced in Year 3. This
approach will reduce the load and stress of
learning in the early years where the emphasis is
on learning through fun and play.

in the
Primary ESL Classroom
COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
Use language to communicate
efficiently.
• Develop both fluency and accuracy.
• Include activities that combines both the
accuracy first model and communication first
model.
• Accuracy first model – mastery of grammatical
patterns, forms and functions.
• Communication first model – fluency in
communication.

TOPIC 2 : APPROACHES
IN TEACHING
GRAMMAR
DESCRIPTIVE VS
PRESCRIPTIVE GRAMMAR
TYPES OF
ENGLISH
GRAMMAR
PRESCRIPTIVE
GRAMMAR
DESCRIPTIVE
GRAMMAR
Prescriptive grammar is
what speakers should or
shouldn't say.
Descriptive grammar is
what speakers say, and
when, why and how they
say it.
Example:
The subject of a sentence must
agree with the verb (subject-
verb agreement)
The instructions are clear not
the instructions is clear.
Example:
Some English speakers use
double negatives for
negation
I don’t have nothing.
Prescribes a strict
set of rules for
language.
Ex: when to use
their/they’re/ther
e and how to
name parts of
speech.
Describes spoken
language used
by native
speakers. Linguists
build a set of rule
to model the
same behavior.
Prescriptivegrammar
Descriptivegrammar
COVERT AND OVERT
APPROACHES
COVERT VS OVERT
COVERT GRAMMAR TEACHING OVERT GRAMMAR TEACHING
The teacher gets the pupils involved
in using the structure without drawing
their attention to grammatical rules
(grammatical facts hidden from the
pupils)
The teacher explicitly explains the
rules when presenting the new
language (grammar rules provided
and explained)
Pupils’ attention is focused on the
activity and not grammar rules but
they have ample opportunity to
practice the question form
(learn grammar rules through the
activity)
APPROACHES:
i. Deductive approach (rule-driven
learning)
ii. Inductive approach (discovery
learning)
Activities: information gap activity or
reading a text where new grammar
is practiced or introduced.
Activities: get pupils to work with the
language (rational cloze, objective
questions, etc)
DEDUCTIVE
APPROACH
(RULE-DRIVEN
LEARNING)
Starts with the
presentation of a rule
and is followed by
examples in which
the rule is applied.
EXAMPLE OF DEDUCTIVE APPROACH
SUBJECT AND OBJECT PRONOUNS
The subject is the person or thing doing the action:
I left early
She went home
We said goodbye
The object is the person or thing receiving the action:
She telephoned me
I hit him
We saw her
Examples of rule
Examples of rule
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
It gets straight to the point and can
therefore be time saving. Allow more
time on practices and application.
Starting the lesson with a grammar
presentation may be off putting for
some students. (do not have
sufficient metalanguage- language
used to talk about grammar
terminology)
Acknowledges the role of cognitive
processes in language acquisition.
Students do not have much
opportunity to get involve (teacher-
centered)
Confirms students’ expectations
about classroom learning particularly
for students with analytical learning
style.
Explanation is seldom memorable.
Allows teacher to deal with language
points as they come up, rather than
having to prepare for them in
advance.
Encourages belief that learning a
language is simply a case of knowing
the rules.
INDUCTIVE
APPROACH
(DISCOVERY
LEARNING)
Starts with some
examples from
which a rule is
inferred.
Students are given
a sample and the
teacher guides
them in
discovering the
grammar rules
used in the sample.
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Make the rules more meaningful,
memorable and serviceable.
May mislead students that the rule is
the objective instead of the meaning.
Mental effort involved ensures a
greater degree of cognitive depth
(greater memorability)
Time consuming
Students are actively involved. Students may hypothesise wrong rule
An approach which favours pattern
recognition and problem solving
abilities.
Place heavy demands on teachers in
planning a lesson.
Extra language practice (if problem
solving is done collaboratively)
Frustrates students who prefer simply
to be told the rules.
Self reliance.
GRAMMAR IN ISOLATION
VS.
GRAMMAR IN CONTEXT
Grammar in isolation
Grammar is taught as
separate topic to make
sure the pupils
recognize the rules and
regulations of grammar.
E.g. : past tense
Present tense
Irregular verbs
Grammar in context
Integrate grammar in
everyday teaching
Also applicable while
teaching other skills.
E.g. : listening
Writing
Speaking
And language arts
Grammar in
context
Focus on form,
meaning and
usage.
Language
learning
Requires a
commitment to
teach
Grammar in
in Isolation
Focus on form
and meaning
only.
Language
acquisition
Exercise involving
repetition,
manipulation,
And grammatical
transformation.
M-U-F FRAMEWORK
MEANING USE FORM
MEANING
• For the first step, teachers introduce a new
language to children in MEANINGFUL CONTEXT to
help the children understand the meaning of the
language that they are learning.
• Meaning can be created through situations that
are related to children’s life.
WAYS TO CREATE MEANING
• Set situations or dialogues that are fun for children
using dolls or other media. (puppet show).
• Using stories.
• Playing dramas.
• Using Total Physical Response (TPR)
• Using pictures.
• Using children’s experiences as learning materials.
USE
• After children are exposed to English language
through the situations manipulated by teachers,
they also need opportunities to use English to
communicate with others. They may use the
language to play or to act in plays.
SAMPLE OF ACTIVITIES
• Games
• Information gap
• Quiz
• Plays
• Giving and following instructions to do or making
something.
• Creating funny rhythms or songs.
FORM
• Children are subconsciously notice form of
language (grammar) and tend to use language
naturally in accordance with their need.
• Thus, teachers have the responsibility to attract
children’s attention to language forms during English
lesson, which means that the teachers are making
the children aware of accurate language use both
orally and written.
• Children need certain conditions to make them
understand meanings of English vocabularies and
to use the language in natural context.
• This means that the teachers have to introduce the
language form with meaningful context, which to
make the children feel motivated to use English as
well.
SOME STRATEGIES
• Games—children raise their right hands if teacher says
singular animals, and their left hands if teacher says
plural animals.
• Writing—completing sentences, arranging words into
good sentences, or completing dialogues.
• Activities that increase students’ awareness on
grammar—teacher asks “What is similar about these
sentences?
●He is talking
●She is listening
●They are eating at the restaurant
INTEGRATION WITH TEACHING
OF LISTENING, SPEAKING,
READING AND WRITING SKILLS.
READING
Teacher assigns a reading text,
The students read the assigned text that their
teacher has chosen,
The students answer the comprehension or
true/false questions which are already given below
the text,
The teacher checks if the students have answered
the questions correctly,
LISTENING
Review new vocabulary.
Read the story one time and
ask students to raise their
hands when they hear nouns.
Read the story 2 or 3 times.
Students answer Listening
Comprehension Questions.
Review answers to Listening
Comprehension Questions.
Read story one more time.
Students listen and write
down all of the proper nouns
they hear.
Review answers
VOCABULARY
 scared – scare
 quietly
 excited
 introduced– introduce
 dream
 discuss
 entered - enter
 asked – ask
SPEAKING
Activity: Describe a Picture
Bring pictures of different people or animals to the
classroom.
Students describe the picture using possessive nouns. For
example, they might say: The man’s blue shirt. The women’s
green dress.
WRITING
Activities: Grammar in Action
ISSUES IN TEACHING GRAMMAR
• Focus on discourse
• Adapting the textbook
Focus On Discourse
a. To be aware of discourse features of the text and
make student aware of them
b. Discourse features
• The way text is organized
• Layout
• Style of language
ADAPTING TEXTBOOKS
Omission
Addition
Reduction
Extension
Rewriting
Replacement
Reordering

Introduction to grammar & Approaches in teaching grammar

  • 1. WEEK 1 TOPIC 1: INTRODUCTION TO GRAMMAR TESL 2 / GROUP 6 Pavitthra a/p Arulchelvan Mohitraa Shakti a/p Sundrarajan Khairunajwa Binti Kasnan Beatrice Justina Teo Constance Chee TSL 3108
  • 2. Grammar may be defined as the rules of a language, governing the way in which words are put together to convey meaning in different contexts. (Nesamalar Chitravelu; Sararatha Sithamparam & The Soo Choon, 2005)
  • 3. Grammar is generally a thought to be set of rules specifying the correct ordering of words at the sentence level (Nunan, 2003) Grammar is a description of the rules that govern how a language’s sentences are formed (Thornbury, 2008)
  • 5. Accuracy • Accuracy is the ability to produce correct sentences using correct grammar and vocabulary. Fluency • Fluency is the ability to read, speak, or write easily, smoothly, and expressively. • In other words, the speaker can read, understand and respond in a language clearly and concisely while relating meaning and context. Source; http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/blogs/english12345/fluency- or-accuracy-speaking
  • 6. Comparisons of Accuracy-oriented activities & Fluency-oriented activities Accuracy acitivities Fluency activities Purposes to help students achieve accurate perception and production of a target item which can be a sound, a word, or a sentence structure. to help students practice language in listening, speaking, reading, and/or writing activities to so develop fluency in using the language in spontaneous communication. Material the texts are usually composed of separate items: the target items are usually practiced out of context or situation; the texts are usually whole pieces of discourses: conversation, stories, etc.; texts are usually authentic and used as they would be in real life.
  • 7. Activities students' attention is focused on a particular target item; their output is usually predictable; their performance is assessed on how few language mistakes are made; students' errors are corrected; tasks do not usually simulate real-life situations. students' attention is focused on communicating information and expressing ideas; their output may not always be predictable; their performance is assessed on how well ideas are expressed or understood; students' errors are not corrected unless it interferes with communication; tasks often simulate real-life situations. Source; http://www.auburn.edu/~nunnath/engl6240/accuracy.html
  • 8. Accuracy : grammar presentations, gap-fill exercises, frame dialogues. Fluency : role plays, speeches, communicative activities, games.
  • 10. Young Learners….. Different kinds of grammatical knowledge at different learning stages. Only understand rules to use them. Do not need to have conscious grammar knowledge.
  • 11. Kinds of grammar knowledge required for young learners
  • 12. 1) Knowledge of Word Order • Basic sentence patterns. • Position of word classes. (adjectives, adverbs, prepositions & words like only, please and just. • Declarative – Abu is playing • Interrogative – Is Abu playing? • Imperative – Abu, play. • Exclamatory – Abu is playing! • Positive & Negative versions – Abu is not playing. Isn’t Abu playing? Abu, don’t play!
  • 13. 2) Knowledge of Grammatical Facts & Rules • Accepted and learnt as a whole collocation. • Articles ( a, an, the ) • Inflection of verbs ( eat, eats, has eaten, ate ) • Pluralization of nouns ( box-boxes, boy-boys ) • Word derivation ( adjective- happy; adverb- happily; noun-happiness )
  • 14. 3) Knowledge of Form & Function • Functions of language – to communicate to persuade, to express agreement, thanks, appreciation & to ask for and give information. • Forms – Words, phrases and sentences that are used to express those functions of language.
  • 15. Knowledge of Form & Function Language function Language form To introduce 1) Jenny, meet my friend, Lim. 2) Jenny, this is Lim. 3) I would like you to meet my sister, Amy. To ask for directions 1) How do I get to the police station? 2) Can you show me the way to the police station? 3) Do you mind telling me how to get to the police station?
  • 16. Knowledge of Form & Function Form Function It is warm in here. 1) Expressing pleasure at being out of cold. 2) Indicating that someone should do something. Example : switch on the fan or open the windows. 3) Just making a remark about the place as a means of starting up a conversation.
  • 17. 4) Knowledge of How to Link Ideas in Different Sentences – (Sentence combining) • Linking ideas to make coherent and cohesive text. • Compound sentence – He is handsome but his brother is not. • Complex sentence – The match went on although it was raining. • Conjunctions – and, or, but • Logical connectors – so, unless, therefore • Pronouns – I, they, him, my, its
  • 18. 5) Knowledge of the Grammar of Spoken & Written Sentences • Abbreviations in spoken language, but not allowed in formal writing – (I’m,that’ll,she’s) • Forms within the same medium that are appropriate to some contexts and not in others. - Hi! ( when greeting a friend ) - How do you do? ( when greeting a stranger)
  • 19. 6) Knowledge of the meaning of different grammatical options • Sentences formed to express the same content contain different forms which have different meanings. • Example of same basic idea : someone (Mary) bought someone else (Peter) a something (a pen) - 1) Mary bought a pen for Peter. 2) It was Mary who bought Peter a pen. 3) A pen is what Mary bought for Peter. 4) It was Peter for whom Mary bought the pen.
  • 20. The Place of Grammar in the Primary ESL Classroom
  • 21. KBSR SUKATAN PELAJARAN KURIKULUM BERSEPADU SEKOLAH RENDAH – BAHASA INGGERIS, 2001 Grammar also forms part of the language contents of the syllabus. These grammar items need to be taught in context and in a meaningful way so that they can be used both in speech and in writing. The grammar items can be reinforced and consolidated if learners are encounter the items often enough through the various tasks set. The grammar items should not be taught in isolation but rather in the context of a topic. SOURCE : (http://www.moe.gov.my/bpk/sp_hsp/bi/kbsr/sp_bi_k bsr.pdf)
  • 22. KSSR DOKUMEN STANDARD KURIKULUM SEKOLAH RENDAH – BAHASA INGGERIS TAHUN 1 & 2 Grammar Modular - The inclusion of the module on Grammar emphasizes the importance of having pupils develop a sound grasp of the language structures and grammar of Standard British English. KSSR Syllabus - Grammar is no longer part of the modules in KSSR syllabus for Year 1 and 2. The reason for this is because English is regarded as the second language of most pupils in schools. Therefore, the teaching of grammar can be delayed to the later stage, which is from Year 3 to Year 6. SOURCE : http://www.moe.gov.my/bpk/kssr_docs/03%20Bahasa%20Inggeris/01%20 DSK%20English%20Y1-%20SK.pdf
  • 23. Why grammar is introduced from Year 3 onwards ? English is the second language for pupils in schools. It is believed prudent and pedagogically sound to defer the learning of grammar to a later stage. Pupils should be given the opportunity to develop an awareness of grammar in their first language and this awareness may then be exploited when English grammar is introduced in Year 3. This approach will reduce the load and stress of learning in the early years where the emphasis is on learning through fun and play. Source : (http://pbey4101.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/discussion-4-8/)
  • 24. The Place of Grammar in the Primary ESL Classroom COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
  • 25. Use language to communicate efficiently. • Develop both fluency and accuracy. • Include activities that combines both the accuracy first model and communication first model. • Accuracy first model – mastery of grammatical patterns, forms and functions. • Communication first model – fluency in communication.
  • 26. GROUP 6 P A VI TTH RA A /P A RULCH ELVAN K H A I RUNAJWA BT K ASNAN CON STA NCE CH EE B E A TRICE JUSTIN A TEO MOH I TR A A S H A K TI A /P SUN DRA RAJA N WEEK 2 TOPIC 2 : APPROACHES IN TEACHING GRAMMAR
  • 28. TYPES OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR PRESCRIPTIVE GRAMMAR DESCRIPTIVE GRAMMAR Prescriptive grammar is what speakers should or shouldn't say. Descriptive grammar is what speakers say, and when, why and how they say it. Example: The subject of a sentence must agree with the verb (subject- verb agreement) The instructions are clear not the instructions is clear. Example: Some English speakers use double negatives for negation I don’t have nothing.
  • 29. Prescribes a strict set of rules for language. Ex: when to use their/they’re/ther e and how to name parts of speech. Describes spoken language used by native speakers. Linguists build a set of rule to model the same behavior. Prescriptivegrammar Descriptivegrammar
  • 31. COVERT VS OVERT COVERT GRAMMAR TEACHING OVERT GRAMMAR TEACHING The teacher gets the pupils involved in using the structure without drawing their attention to grammatical rules (grammatical facts hidden from the pupils) The teacher explicitly explains the rules when presenting the new language (grammar rules provided and explained) Pupils’ attention is focused on the activity and not grammar rules but they have ample opportunity to practice the question form (learn grammar rules through the activity) APPROACHES: i. Deductive approach (rule-driven learning) ii. Inductive approach (discovery learning) Activities: information gap activity or reading a text where new grammar is practiced or introduced. Activities: get pupils to work with the language (rational cloze, objective questions, etc)
  • 32. DEDUCTIVE APPROACH (RULE-DRIVEN LEARNING) Starts with the presentation of a rule and is followed by examples in which the rule is applied.
  • 33. EXAMPLE OF DEDUCTIVE APPROACH SUBJECT AND OBJECT PRONOUNS The subject is the person or thing doing the action: I left early She went home We said goodbye The object is the person or thing receiving the action: She telephoned me I hit him We saw her Examples of rule Examples of rule
  • 34. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES It gets straight to the point and can therefore be time saving. Allow more time on practices and application. Starting the lesson with a grammar presentation may be off putting for some students. (do not have sufficient metalanguage- language used to talk about grammar terminology) Acknowledges the role of cognitive processes in language acquisition. Students do not have much opportunity to get involve (teacher- centered) Confirms students’ expectations about classroom learning particularly for students with analytical learning style. Explanation is seldom memorable. Allows teacher to deal with language points as they come up, rather than having to prepare for them in advance. Encourages belief that learning a language is simply a case of knowing the rules.
  • 35. INDUCTIVE APPROACH (DISCOVERY LEARNING) Starts with some examples from which a rule is inferred. Students are given a sample and the teacher guides them in discovering the grammar rules used in the sample.
  • 36. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES Make the rules more meaningful, memorable and serviceable. May mislead students that the rule is the objective instead of the meaning. Mental effort involved ensures a greater degree of cognitive depth (greater memorability) Time consuming Students are actively involved. Students may hypothesise wrong rule An approach which favours pattern recognition and problem solving abilities. Place heavy demands on teachers in planning a lesson. Extra language practice (if problem solving is done collaboratively) Frustrates students who prefer simply to be told the rules. Self reliance.
  • 38. Grammar in isolation Grammar is taught as separate topic to make sure the pupils recognize the rules and regulations of grammar. E.g. : past tense Present tense Irregular verbs
  • 39. Grammar in context Integrate grammar in everyday teaching Also applicable while teaching other skills. E.g. : listening Writing Speaking And language arts
  • 40. Grammar in context Focus on form, meaning and usage. Language learning Requires a commitment to teach Grammar in in Isolation Focus on form and meaning only. Language acquisition Exercise involving repetition, manipulation, And grammatical transformation.
  • 42. MEANING • For the first step, teachers introduce a new language to children in MEANINGFUL CONTEXT to help the children understand the meaning of the language that they are learning. • Meaning can be created through situations that are related to children’s life.
  • 43. WAYS TO CREATE MEANING • Set situations or dialogues that are fun for children using dolls or other media. (puppet show). • Using stories. • Playing dramas. • Using Total Physical Response (TPR) • Using pictures. • Using children’s experiences as learning materials.
  • 44. USE • After children are exposed to English language through the situations manipulated by teachers, they also need opportunities to use English to communicate with others. They may use the language to play or to act in plays.
  • 45. SAMPLE OF ACTIVITIES • Games • Information gap • Quiz • Plays • Giving and following instructions to do or making something. • Creating funny rhythms or songs.
  • 46. FORM • Children are subconsciously notice form of language (grammar) and tend to use language naturally in accordance with their need. • Thus, teachers have the responsibility to attract children’s attention to language forms during English lesson, which means that the teachers are making the children aware of accurate language use both orally and written.
  • 47. • Children need certain conditions to make them understand meanings of English vocabularies and to use the language in natural context. • This means that the teachers have to introduce the language form with meaningful context, which to make the children feel motivated to use English as well.
  • 48. SOME STRATEGIES • Games—children raise their right hands if teacher says singular animals, and their left hands if teacher says plural animals. • Writing—completing sentences, arranging words into good sentences, or completing dialogues. • Activities that increase students’ awareness on grammar—teacher asks “What is similar about these sentences? ●He is talking ●She is listening ●They are eating at the restaurant
  • 49. INTEGRATION WITH TEACHING OF LISTENING, SPEAKING, READING AND WRITING SKILLS.
  • 50. READING Teacher assigns a reading text, The students read the assigned text that their teacher has chosen, The students answer the comprehension or true/false questions which are already given below the text, The teacher checks if the students have answered the questions correctly,
  • 51. LISTENING Review new vocabulary. Read the story one time and ask students to raise their hands when they hear nouns. Read the story 2 or 3 times. Students answer Listening Comprehension Questions. Review answers to Listening Comprehension Questions. Read story one more time. Students listen and write down all of the proper nouns they hear. Review answers
  • 52. VOCABULARY  scared – scare  quietly  excited  introduced– introduce  dream  discuss  entered - enter  asked – ask
  • 53. SPEAKING Activity: Describe a Picture Bring pictures of different people or animals to the classroom. Students describe the picture using possessive nouns. For example, they might say: The man’s blue shirt. The women’s green dress.
  • 55. ISSUES IN TEACHING GRAMMAR • Focus on discourse • Adapting the textbook Focus On Discourse a. To be aware of discourse features of the text and make student aware of them b. Discourse features • The way text is organized • Layout • Style of language
