GRAMMAR TEACHING:
25 / 26 January 2022
Join Scott Thornbury for a webinar that will explore
the most effective approaches to teaching English
Grammar, on 25 or 26 January 2022.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
What is the best way of learning grammar – learning the rules and then experimenting
with them? Or experimenting first, and then working out the rules? These two approaches
have been labelled deductive and inductive, respectively, and traditional teaching favours
the first. But what is the case for inductive learning (also known as experiential, or discovery
learning), and how does it work in practice? In this webinar, Scott Thornbury will offer
some practical activities for grammar learning.
