Study Notes
Teaching Grammar
- This presentation covers teaching grammar through dialogues and conversations
- Using contextual learning helps students understand and remember grammar
- Interactive activities are used to keep students engaged and motivated
- Regular practice improves fluency and confidence in speaking
- Cultural elements are incorporated into dialogues, providing a holistic understanding of the language
Additional Activities
- Role-Plays: Students act out scenarios (e.g., ordering food, asking for directions) to practice specific grammar
- Interview Projects: Students conduct interviews on various topics, practice question forms and past tenses
- Debates: Students organize debates to practice forming complex sentences and using various tenses
- Dialogue Journals: Students write dialogues in journals, targeting specific grammar points
Tips for Effective Use
- Authentic Materials: Use real-life examples from media (like movies or TV shows)
- Pair and Group Work: Encourage collaboration to maximize speaking opportunities
- Feedback and Correction: Provide constructive feedback and corrections to improve grammar
- Scaffolding: Provide support with sentence starters or key phrases for dialogue construction
Input Enhancement
- Make grammatical forms noticeable (e.g., bold text, underlining, color-coding)
- This helps learners to notice and internalize grammatical structures they may not otherwise recognize
- Past tense verbs are used to showcase this technique
- Example given: "Last weekend, I went to the mountains with my friends... we returned home feeling happy and refreshed."
Input Flood
- Provide numerous examples of a grammatical structure in various contexts
- This technique helps enhance student grammar learning
- Example given: "Last weekend, we decided to visit a zoo. It was a sunny day ... a wonderful time exploring the zoo and learning about the animals."
Activity: Read and Identify
- Students identify definite and indefinite articles in a passage
- Discussion of article usage and differences between definite and indefinite articles is encouraged
- Fill-in-the-blanks exercises are provided with missing articles
- Students create short stories or paragraphs using various articles
Input Processing
- This method emphasizes how learners process language input to acquire grammar
- Developed by Bill VanPatten, it's based on the principle that learners need to process input meaningfully
- Input Processing helps learners focus on the relationship between form and meaning leading to better understanding and usage of grammar
Exercise: Matching Sentences
- Students match sentences to pictures or profiles based on context clues, improving comprehension
- Examples: "Anna has traveled to Paris," and "John has finished his homework"
Dictogloss
- Using a rich text source, that incorporates target grammar. (e.g., past tense, passive voice)
- Students listen and engage with the language actively
- Students take notes focusing on key words and structures
- In small groups, students reconstruct the text from notes, applying grammar rules
Feedback and Correction
- Teachers provide feedback on reconstructed texts, addressing any grammar errors
- This helps clarify concepts and refines understanding and use of grammatical structures
- Example provided: conditional sentences (e.g. "If I were a millionaire...").
First Reading
- Read the text aloud, students listen and take notes of the provided passage.
Second Reading
- The text is read again and students note specific elements, focusing on conditional sentences.
Group Work
- Students form small groups, using notes to reconstruct the text, correctly applying conditional sentences.
Presentation and Comparison
- Groups present reconstructed texts, comparing with the original text
- The teacher facilitates a discussion and highlights conditional sentence usage
Charts, Objects, Maps, Drawings
- Visual aids are effective for grasping abstract grammar, using concrete examples.
- Example: Using objects (like fruits) to teach nouns, articles, and adjectives
- Prepositions are explained using maps and physical locations.
Present Simple Tense
- A chart showing verb conjugations for the present simple tense. Using the verbs to be, to have and to play, showing various forms for different subjects.
Excuse/Feedback
- These are general terms/words
