LANGUAGE.
GRAMMAR IN CLASS

 GRAMMAR SHOULD BE SECONDARY WHEN

TEACHING ‘COS LEXIS IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAT’S WHY
COLLOCATIONAL COMPETENCE IS
CONSIDERED TO BE CRUCIAL FOR A
FOREING LANGUAGE LEARNER.
STEPS TO TEACH GRAMMAR

 1) Model good grammar in speech and

writing. Encourage students to listen and look
for mistakes in speech and writing. This is not
meant to make fun of anyone; it’s meant to
teach the students to listen and read carefully
while looking for mistakes.
STEP 2

 Teach the basic principles and most common

grammar rules. Choose the grammar rules where
students make the most common mistakes. Going
over these rules early will provide the students
with extra practice and more confidence when
faced with these grammar situations. Have
students understand the basic principle of each
rule and go over examples, but don’t overload
them with information.
STEP 3

 Practice. Students learn best when they have

a chance to do something. Providing hands
on experience and practice with each
grammar rule is essential to achieving
success. Remember, just because it's practice
doesn’t mean it has to be homework.
STEP 4

 Provide different types of grammar work.

Students need to experience all types of work
to successfully learn English grammar
STEP 5

 Focus on one rule at a time. This goes for every aspect

of the classroom, even grading and writing. Tell the
students what rule you will be learning and practice.
Look for mistakes and also where they used the rule
correctly. This allows students to focus on one topic
at a time and master it. Then, after a few rules have
been covered, review those three or four and practice
using those by building on the past few lessons.
RECOMANDATIONS

 The most effective way to teach English

language and grammar is by systematically
explaining the rules and getting students to
learn them one by one. Applying the rules
and frequently reviewing them are the best
ways to ensure that your students attain
mastery of this subject.
