Week 4 Grammar

1. Common problems in teaching grammar
-teacher-centered (deliever grammar to students)
-does not give us time to practice
-students easily get bored after just the teacher explaining, it's not fun memorizing the rules
-too difficult grammatical terminology
-should teach how and when to use grammar rules (4 integrated skills)
-never saw real life samples, just examples and exercises

2. Recently defined goal of teaching grammar (teaching -ed forms)
-use short stories or recent experiences
-let students talk in -ed forms (role play, pair work)
-teach the pronunciation too
