On Saturday 11th May we were delighted to welcome Alan Marsh, MATEFL’s former president, back to Malta and MATEFL to lead a 3-hour training session.
Getting Creative with Grammar; making grammar teaching enjoyable and memorable. Learners (and sometimes teachers) often link the teaching and learning of grammar with words such as ‘boring’ and ‘difficult’ and they tend to associate grammar with a heavy focus on memorisation of ‘rules’. This session looked at ways of making the presentation and practice of grammar more engaging, enjoyable, and memorable for learners, using (slightly) creative techniques which also contribute towards ‘noticing’ and remembering what otherwise may pass them by and in some cases to ‘deeper processing’ and therefore internalisation of challenging grammatical concepts. Oh yes, and they might have some fun, too! PDF of the presentation slides
