You Can Teach Grammar by Claudia Bertotto,Jimena del Azar-Pintaric,Margaret Hurley Pdf

Teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) requires knowledge of content (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation) and methods (lesson planning, classroom management). Many TESOL teacher training programs assume that trainees have sufficient content knowledge, and therefore focus on methodology. Unfortunately, the assumption of content knowledge is often a bad one. Many TESOL graduates enter the work force without a sufficient grounding in English fundamentals. You Can Teach Grammar is a self-contained TESOL grammar course book. It covers all the parts of speech and major sentence structures and provides self-practice quizzes to check comprehension. In addition, the book directly addresses common classroom problems associated with each grammar topic. In the classroom, knowledge of the grammar alone is insufficient. Imparting English grammar skills in memorable and meaningful ways can be tricky, particularly for new teachers. For this reason, You Can Teach Grammar includes a variety of teaching ideas for each grammar topic. You Can Teach Grammar is designed as both a course book and a general reference. Its logical layout and detailed indexing make it a useful resource for teachers in the field as well as for teachers-in-training.

Keys to Teaching Grammar to English Language Learners by Keith S. Folse,Betty Schrampfer Azar Pdf

This book teaches the most common ESL grammar points in an accessible way through real ESL errors together with suggested teaching techniques. Relevant grammar terminology is explained. The four objectives of this book are to help teachers: (1) identify common ESL grammar points and understand the details associated with each one; (2) improve their ability to answer any grammar question on the spot (when on the "hot seat"); (3) anticipate common ESL errors by grammar point, by first language, and/or by proficiency level; and (4) develop more effective grammar/language learning lessons. These objectives are for all teachers, whether they are teaching grammar directly or indirectly in a variety of classes -- including a grammar class, a writing class, a speaking class, an ESP class, or a K-12 class.
