Description: In Part 2 of the series the
focus is on features of classroom materials that can contribute to the
effective learning of grammar. For example, using inductive techniques to
convey grammar rules is likely to improve a student’s retention of grammar
patterns. Highlighting common grammatical errors may help improve students’
performances in tests, as will differentiating between written and spoken
grammar. The speaker will consider various factors that can usefully contribute
to the effective teaching and learning of grammar in English.
