On this five-week course, you’ll discover methods for teaching English grammar in context throughout primary and secondary education.
With this approach, you can employ grammar in other aspects of your teaching for a more unified experience. This engaging method helps your students explore grammar through authentic texts and discussions about meaning, choices, and effects, rather than simply identifying features.
This technique has also been shown to have positive impacts on students’ creative writing and analytical reading.
You’ll discover how you can teach your students to apply grammatical knowledge to a range of texts, genres, and styles to keep your activities interesting.
