Teaching Grammar - Week 14 - Our Grammar Lessons

Introduction: Hello and welcome to Week 14 of the course Teaching Grammar for the Bachelor's in English Teaching at ULACIT Term IIIC 2023. In this class you will present your Grammar Lesson Plan project as if you were working with real students and then we will discuss the design choices you made when writing the plan. 

Today's Goals:

• Demonstrate your grammar lesson plan by teaching a brief lesson sequence.
• Describe the design choices you made when developing your plan and materials.
• Reflect on Thornbury's principles for grammar teaching and identify strengths and areas of improvement in your plan.

Guiding Questions:

• What makes an effective grammar lesson?
• What principles guide my approach to grammar teaching?

Task 1: Your Grammar Lesson

Share your Grammar Lesson Plan project by teaching it as if you were really working with a group of students. 

Task 2: Analyzing your Plan

Let's reflect on the grammar teaching rules you articulated last week as well as Thornbury's six principles. What connections can you find between these rules and your plan and the way you taught the lesson? With these ideas in mind, what aspects of your plan are strong and what are some areas of improvement?
