TEACHING GRAMMAR
The role of grammar in the classroom
Traditional grammar instruction, as it was commonly
called, was criticized or its long-winded teacher explanations, it’s drills and
drudgery, and its boring and banal exercises. Traditional methods that related on
extensive drilling and merorization of grammar avoked a backlash in the 1970,
which resulted in new methods that included grammar instruction in favor of “natural”
communication in the classroom, new teaching methods appeared that replaced
grammar exercises with meaningful communicative environments.
Implementing
language awareness techniques:
Language awareness have been found to be especially useful, user-friendly, and
affective. These techniques should be sequenced as follows:
·
The student
is exposed to oral or written structured input where the initial focus is on
the meaning of the text.
·
The
student notices the target structure and the context in which is occurs, this
can include observation of syntactic patterning, judgments and discriminations,
and the articulation of rules.
·
The
student checks that the rule holds against further data and, if not, revises
the rule.
·
The
student uses the structure in a short production task.

LEXICAL APPROACH
LEXICAL APPROACH
The lexical approach is typically applied in psychology
as a way of studying the way humans format language and communicate. The basic idea
is that humans store language information in clusters called “lexical chunks”. These
chunks are phrases with words that are very commonly found together.
