Guided questions
5. When teaching grammar, how will you explain that grammar has meaning,
a function, and that there is a difference with spoken and written form?
In spoken grammar, I can explain Grammar has a function when I am referring to something
in particular (Pragmatics, of how context contributes to meaning.) . If I say, do you like the
colour black, I may be expecting for someone to hand me a black object because I like it;
however maybe that is no the intention of the other person, probably the other person doesn't
have anything black. In written language could be similar, but in requests or questions. EX: If
you do this, I’ll do this to you (I know based on the context that I am being threatened)
6.- When we teach and evaluate grammar, we have to think about complexity,
learnability and teachability in our class plan, What do these mean?
Complexity is when the more content we include, the tougher or complex it gets in our lesson
plan.
Learnability measures complexity, the simplest, the more learnable our lesson plan can be.
Teachability means content we can’t teach to a student of he/she is ready to learn that
particular topic.
