8.MOOC on teaching Grammar
FET@KU Forum of English Teacher Educators of Kannur University Though Grammar is central to the teaching of languages most educators are not very comfortable with the teaching of Grammar…There are teachers who focus on grammar as a set of forms and rules. Such teachers teach grammar by explaining the forms and rules and then drill students on them. There are also language teachers who assume that students will absorb grammar rules as they hear, read, and use the language in communication activities. The Communicative Competence model of teaching Grammar recognizes that overt grammar instruction helps students acquire the language more efficiently, but it incorporates grammar teaching and learning into the larger context of teaching students to use the language. Research strongly suggests that the most beneficial way of helping students improve their command of grammar in writing is to use students' writing as the basis for discussing grammatical concepts.
