Teaching Grammar - Week 14 - Exploring Textbooks & Grammar Teaching

Introduction: Hello and welcome to Week 14, the final class of the course Teaching Grammar for the Licenciatura in English Teaching at ULACIT. In this class you will share your analysis of the way grammar is treated in a commercial ELT textbook. 

Today's Goal:

• Demonstrate your ability to analyze and evaluate a commercial textbook in terms of its strengths and weaknesses for the purposes of grammar teaching and make suggestions for improvement by drawing upon relevant theory from the course, academic literature, and personal beliefs about teaching and learning.

Guiding Question:

• Is the treatment of grammar in commercial ELT textbooks in alignment with my personal beliefs about how it should be taught?
• What can I do to teach grammar effectively even when I disagree with how it is treated in my coursebook?
