All are welcome to attend a TESOL Virtual Seminar in Key Issues on English Language Teaching entitled “Grammaring,” presented by Diane Larsen-Freeman this Wednesday, May 7 from 7 to 8:30 a.m. in Hoover 102 at the Newberg campus.
Teaching grammar often means giving students grammar rules and then having students practice the rules in drills and exercises. Students do learn about grammar this way, but they don’t necessarily learn to use it for their own communicative purposes. Grammaring is a dynamic process. It is what enables language students to use grammar structures accurately, meaningfully, and appropriately. In this Virtual Seminar, we will learn about grammaring, how it is learned, and how to teach it.
