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.

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]
