WHY THIS METHOD FOR TEACHING GRAMMAR?
1. Students need a purpose for learning grammar
2. Grammar should be taught in context
- Research repeatedly states that grammar should be taught in the context of reading and writing in order for students to apply grammar in their writing.
3. Students need to observe correct usage of grammar
- Most grammar activities center on error correction whereas this method emphasizes observing correct usage of grammar in mentor sentences.
4. It will result in improved writing
- As a result of teaching grammar in the context of reading and writing, you will see your students transfer grammar skills to their own writing.
