Activity 1: Goals and Techniques for Teaching GrammarThe word "grammar" is associated with a

fixed set of rules of usageThe goal of studying grammar is to make

students aware not only of the language system and of the typical constructions in a language, but also of the way the language forms are used.

Grammar should be taught in order to enable students to communicate properly!

Overt Grammar InstructionThis technique focuses on rules, explanations and

instructions upon different language forms;The goal is for students to acquire grammatical

competenceLearners follow in order to attain accuracyThis technique enables students to understand and

assimilate grammatical structures Students should be provided with accurate and

appropriate examples.

Relevance of Grammar InstructionThis issue relates to the Communicative Approach

which focuses on language functionsThe activities are centered on learners’ ability to

use language to communicate, appropriate to a particular situation.

Learning grammar means focus on the language of which grammar is a part.

Error CorrectionTeachers need to be careful not to focus on

error correction to the detriment of communication, as

This will “shake” the students' confidence in their ability to use the language;

They will focus more on the grammatical structures and not on the content of their communication;

There is disagreement among teachers about what, when, and how to correct;

Teachers can help by using error correction when students are doing activities.
