Teaching Grammar

Grammar gives us the tools to create, experience and convey meaning. But as teachers, we naturally worry about teaching grammar. This could be due to a lack of language awareness, or limited ideas on how to present and review grammar structures. Our students also worry about grammar and place great value in the mastery of it. 

Our Teaching Grammar course will give you the tools you need to analyze, present and review language. More importantly we will show you how you can, and should use your students minds and existing knowledge to explore language more inductively, through effective, engaging and memorable teaching practices.
