Grammar 1 PDF

Grammar teaches the structure of sentences, such as how the past tense of verbs typically ends in "ed", though there are irregular verbs like "go" whose past tense is "went". The goal of grammar instruction is to help students produce accurate sentences in both controlled exercises and open-ended speech and writing. Teachers should provide a variety of activity types, from awareness activities like underlining verb tenses to controlled drills, meaningful drills, guided practice, structured composition tasks, and finally free discourse without a given structure.

the structure of the sentence, for example the past tense of verbs is ed but there are some
irregular verbs. Goed is not the past tense of go, it is went.

The aim of teaching

student to produce correct
and accurat sentences.

Many student answer correctly in tasks when they have formal instruction; however, in
speech or writing they make mistakes on the same structure, the job of the teacher is to help
the student by providing activities with both form and communication (fluency and accuracy).

Types of activities:
Awareness: the teacher brings a text or an article then asks the student to extract a structure
that has been learned, ex: underline the past tense of the entire verb in this article.
Controlled drills: the teacher gives the student a model and asks them to create other
sentences following the same structure, ex: john eats an apple, (an orange, a banana..) .
Meaningful drills: the same as controlled drills but focusing on the meaning.
Guided meaningful practice: the teacher gives the beginning of a set of pattern and the
learner has to guess the end, ex: if I were you,
(Structure based) free sentences: the teacher gives a situation and asks the student to
describe this situation using the appropriate structure, ex: describe this picture using the
present tense.
(Structure based) discourse composition: the teacher gives a task and the learners discus it
following a given structure, ex: your friend stole a watch so what would you do, use models in
your sentences.
Free discourse: the teacher gives a topic to the learners and they are asked to produce
sentences without following a given structure, ex: describe your home.
