Study Notes
Grammar
- The system and structure of a language or languages, including syntax, morphology, and potentially phonology and semantics.
Morphology
- The study of words, their forms, and how they change in different situations.
Syntax
- The study of sentence structure.
Prescriptive Grammar
- Rules and examples that show how a language should be used, often found in textbooks, manuals, or guides.
Descriptive Grammar
- The system of language that people learn as they grow up.
Grammaring
- Grammaring focuses on accurate, meaningful, and appropriate use of language
- Emphasizes form, meaning, and use of language
- Uses practical activities for teaching and learning grammar
Focus on Form
- Distinguishes between language use and language form
- Emphasizes the importance of teaching both language form and language use
Focus on Meaning
- Links form with meaning through associative learning
- Uses realia and pictures to clarify meaning by associating words with referents
- Explains the meaning of linguistic signs by mimicking their appropriate action
Focus on Use
- Focuses on selecting the correct form and meaning for the right context
- Uses role-playing to sensitize students to the impact of context on language
- Uses real-life context simulations to develop students’ appropriate linguistic behavior
