Grammar and the Language Classroom

EDPJ5016

This core unit focuses on building awareness of features of English grammar and also on the effective teaching of these features in the second/foreign language classroom. The unit has a strong pedagogical focus, as it examines key principles of grammar instruction, how to structure grammar lessons, and how to evaluate and use grammar teaching materials effectively. The unit also focuses on raising awareness of the language systems of English such as tense/aspect, modality and cohesion, and of how context influences grammatical choices. It also examines how texts can be used effectively in the classroom. This unit is intended for those who are or who are planning to be teachers of English as a second or foreign language. As the unit assumes some prior of grammar, those with little prior knowledge are advised to do some preparatory reading. Please consult the coordinator about this.
