2. Why Teach Grammar? This discussion is of particular interest to educators who feel they have been inadequately prepared to teach grammar in a pedagogical context http://tmsyn.wc.ask.com/r?t=an&s=hb&uid=24312681243126812&sid=343126

Grammar teaching and writing skills: the research evidence Richard Hudson (dick@ling.ucl.ac.uk) Dept of Phonetics and Linguistics, UCL, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT [Published in Syntax in the Schools, 17:1-6, 2001] 1. Historical background One of the reasons given for this major change of teaching policy is the beneficial effect of grammar teaching on the children's writing; but this has inevitably invited criticism from those who believe that the earlier research has proved this effect to be a myth. The status of the research evidence is clearly an important issue, and even an urgent issue given that the policy is already being implemented (on a massive scale). What, then, does the published research really say about the effects of grammar teaching? 2. The present survey The following report is based on a small-scale attempt to find the answer. Because of time constraints I have regrettably not been able to check all original sources, so my conclusions must be treated with caution; but I think the overall conclusions are sufficiently robust to at least merit serious consideration. The bibliography has grown out of a wide range of sources, including some responses to a query that I broadcast over a number of email networks. I should like to thank the following for their contributions:

5. Times Higher Education Supplement 2nd March 2001 How To Ensure A grammar teaching in higher education has been to put it mildly - a challenge . Finally the most important question of all How to teach grammar. http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/dick/thes.htm

Times Higher Education Supplement 2 nd March 2001 How to: Ensure a modifier does not dangle The tide has turned on grammar in schools, says Richard Hudson. But are lecturers ready for the new first-year students? [In margin: 'Not many years ago, grammar was portrayed as something that grammarians did in private.' Richard Hudson] Grammar teaching has suddenly become fashionable again in our schools. In this case fashion is being driven by two very practical imperatives: the urgent need to raise literacy standards in English, and the almost equally urgent need to improve the nation's language-learning abilities. Not many years ago grammar was portrayed as something that grammarians did in private, that really, really bad teachers inflicted on children as a kind of torture, and that was demonstrably useless (or worse). Now, all of a sudden at the government's behest, the anti-grammar lobby has lost its influence and grammarians can come in from the cold. This change leaves HE deeply divided. Not everyone shares a grammarian's love for the subject, nor does everyone agree that studying grammar is good for one's language skills. However the fact remains that grammar is back, so language-oriented HE departments should take note and plan. I wonder how many departments of French, English or Linguistics, and how many Academic Literacy Tutors, have realised that as far as schools are concerned the debate is over. The government's literacy strategy means primary schools are already running literacy hours, with a heavy dose of grammar such as prefixes and synonyms at age six, conjunctions and tenses at seven, phrase structures at eight, subjects at nine and complex sentences at ten.

Contact us Vote Grammar teaching approaches Teaching grammar is an important part of language teaching. There are different ways of apporoaching it - but which ways do you find most effective for you and your students? We received this question:. Belinda, China "I'm a TEFL teacher in a senior high school. The biggest problem for me right now is grammar teaching. Traditionally, we use deductive approach to teach grammar, for it is easy to control and efficient, but it is quite boring both to teachers and students. Inductive approach, on the other hand, is rather demanding and rewarding, but it is too time-consuming. Could you tell me how to solve this contradiction?" A deductive approach is one where the teacher directly presents the rule to the students. An inductive approach is where the teacher encourages the students to work out the rule for themselves through relevant examples.

Grammar is an essential part of the language learning process but opinions vary on the best way of teaching it. The questions Grammar Translation Zahid Hameed, Pakistan "Can you please tell me the different advantages and disadvantages of the grammar translation method?" Grammr teaching methods Juliana Hi everybody! Well I really need your help! I was wondering what would be the best way to teach grammar! Most teachers say that we should present the structure at first, but others say that it is better to use an inductive approach . What do you think? Thanks . Your answers This topic is now closed. Thank you for your contributions. Mahesh Chandak, India I take it your main aim is to teach spoken english. For, if you are teaching grammar for the sake of grammar, the inductive approach won't help, because it won't tell the students the why's. For spoken English, the less of grammar that is used, the better it it for the students. Grammar becomes more of a hindrance than a help so far as spoken English is concerned. I have often seen students fumbling for words because every sentence they speak is preceded by a mental check-up of the grammar of the sentence. Language should come fluently. Grammar should follow only after the student has gained fluency. After all, don't 4-5 year old kids in English-speaking countries like US, Canada and UK speak near-perfect English when they barely know the letters of the alphabet, let alone any grammar? So let's not confuse students with grammar. Grammar will make sense once they learn to speak and write proper english through speaking, hearing and reading.

Ayers Bagley University of Minnesota Grammar as Teacher Click on image to open larger image in new window Introduction Grammar Notre Dame Cathedral A young woman gestures to a class of nineteen attentive boys in the earliest known picture of Grammar personified as a teacher. More than a thousand years old, she abides in the ink lines of a drawing dated to the beginning of the tenth century. Later depictions of Grammar, from the eleventh to the eighteenth century, express different visions of this member of the curriculum. Grammar tough, Grammar tender; she may threaten, she may strike; she may foster learning through the gentlest of pedagogies. A variety of symbolic devices are hers. Grammar's habitat is not limited to classrooms or interior spaces, although she is usually found not far from architecture, when her environment can be discerned at all. But if Grammar is revealed in no single persona or setting, how diverse are her configurations? Here we see Grammatica; there, a male Grammaticus. Given that gender is a basic fact of Latin grammar as well as of its teachers or exponents, what part has it to play in visualizations of the subject? Still more generally, what bearing have these questions on the history of curriculum and instruction? The answers that follow will be seen to comprise an essay gathering Grammar imagery across nine centuries, delineating a typology, and exploring the significance of the iconic forms that Grammar has assumed.

The Internet TESL Journal Integrative L2 Grammar Teaching: Exploration, Explanation and Expression Pavel V. Sysoyev sysoyev [at] pvs.tambov.ru The Tambov State University (Russia) Abstract This paper addresses the issue of L2 grammar teaching to ESL students with the focus on form and meaning. A method of integrative grammar teaching, consisting of three major stages (a) exploration , (b) explanation , and (c) expression (EEE) , is proposed. To illustrate how each of these stages function, several experimental lessons were conducted. The paper describes and discusses the lessons themselves, their rationale, and their implementation of the proposed method. An evaluative questionnaire conducted after the experimental lessons, shows that students preferred to learn L2 grammar using the EEE method , as opposed to form-based or meaning-based only approaches. Introduction In learning an L2 grammar, students face a dilemma. On the one hand, students need to know the rules, as that is what they are tested on at schools. On the other, with a number of foreign visitors, or living in an L2 country there is a good need for communication in an L2. That is why there is a need to look at the ways of combining form and meaning in teaching foreign languages.

Home Brought to you by Macmillan Welcome to Grammar and Vocabulary Grammar main page Grammar teaching Vocabulary Ask the authors grammar and vocabulary help ... Grammar and vocabulary in the forum Task-based grammar teaching by Lindsay Clandfield Introduction One approach to teaching language that has attracted a lot of attention over the past twenty-five years is a task based approach to learning and teaching. In task-based approaches, the focus of classroom activities is on the task, and ultimately on meaning (for more on Task Based Teaching and Learning, see the Methodology section ). In Jane Willis’ flexible model for task-based learning, learners begin by carrying out a communicative task, without specific focus on form. After they have done the task, they report and discuss how they accomplished this, perhaps listening to a fluent speaker doing the same task. Only at the end is there a specific focus on features of language form. The advantage of the task-based approach, according to its advocates, is that during the task the learners are allowed to use whatever language they want, freeing them to focus entirely on the meaning of their message. This makes it closer to a real-life communicative situation.
