- Grammar is sometimes defined as the way words are put together to make correct sentences - Penny Ur.
- Grammatical terms can refer to units smaller than sentences (tall woman vs woman tall)
- Grammar can occur in single words (+ed, +ing, 3rd person singular etc.)
After an introduction on grammar we went back to Damian's session yesterday and talked about how and when to use different approaches or methods. Mavis mentioned "principled eclecticism" as picking the most appropriate feature or proceeding of each method or approach and know when to use it in each stage of our lesson plan.
We also discussed which approach or method is for or against grammar. Some approaches do not take grammar into consideration, willingly or not, when setting a syllabus. Once again, it is best to use and benefit from a little bit of each of the approaches/methods mentioned earlier.
