This first video deals with the misconceptions that many English teachers have when they teach English grammar and some great tips on how to prepare for a grammar lesson.
Teaching grammar is all about usage and less about learning all of the rules of a grammar point. Yes, the rules are important, but the end goal of any grammar lesson should be aimed at students being able to use the grammar point in real-life discussions, roleplays, and authentic conversations.
Here are the specific tips covered in the video
.
1. Know your grammar point
2. Pull out 1-2 functions
3. Plan your activation
4. Decide on rules/content
5. Think of the language level of your students
6. Investigate materials
7. Have an overreaching topic (your topic is not your grammar point)
