Simple Ideas for Teaching Grammar
Sarah Jennings
Teaching Ideas
By Kyle Cullinan
In the past, grammar was taught based on the memorisation of rules. This may work for other languages, but it is not the most effective and creative way to teach or learn English grammar. Trying to "translate" grammar from your mother tongue into English does not always work because another language has a different way of expressing or another way of thinking that is not always the same equivalent to English. The best way to learn another language is to live in that language and this means to live and work or study in the country where they speak the language. However, sometimes this is not possible and therefore, students are left to learn from books in most cases.
Encouraging students to learn grammar through writing allows them to delve... [Read more]

The term business English is used to cover the English language taught to a wide range of professional people, and students in full-time education preparing for a business career.

Tefl reviews - English Grammar Present Perfect Continuous Teaching Ideas 3 Pay For English Teachers - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
In this video we look at a TESOL teaching idea for the Present Perfect Continuous. This tense is the one we use when we want to say what has been happening. The activity in the video is called "Guess what I've been doing?" It is a fun activity that can generate a lot of student talk time. Students each receive a card that has two pieces of information on it, a past activity and a result. Each student has a turn of telling the class the result and the class then has to guess the activity using the Present Perfect Continuous. For example, the past activity on a card is "You have been driving your motorbike in the rain", the result written on the card is "You are all wet. Your clothes are wet". The other students could ask, "Have you been swimming?", "Have you been washing the dog?"... [Read more]
