Teaching Grammar Course

Teacher supporting a learner in a technology-enabled learning environment
Course overview

Teaching Grammar develops practical ways to explain English grammar clearly, connect form with meaning and use, anticipate common learner difficulties and build communicative practice around language structures.

Grammar teaching is most effective when learners understand not only how a structure is formed but why and when speakers use it. The course focuses on clear explanation, guided discovery, examples, practice and feedback.
