Why does teaching
grammar get a bad press?

Do we need to teach grammar
at all?

Should we be planning to teach grammar?
![Page 7: NATECLA 2013 - Getting creative with grammar teaching](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/553aa09155034692368b459f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Should we forget grammar and only teach vocabulary?
Vocabulary is arguably more important
..but do they get enough exposure?

Krashen's Input Hypothesis (1982)

Conscious knowledge of
grammar is seen to help at
different stages.
Ellis 1994
![Page 11: NATECLA 2013 - Getting creative with grammar teaching](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/553aa09155034692368b459f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Proponents of task-based teaching all
argue for a place for pre-planned grammar
instruction in a TBI framework.
Skehan, 2003; Willis & Willis, 2007; Ellis,2006

In a skills approach conscious knowledge is seen to serve as a ‘crutch’ until language use becomes proceduralised (usable without conscious effort).
Johnson, 1996, DeKeyser, 1998

Do we need to teach grammar
at all?
YES!

What I am NOT saying…..

If we teach grammar, how
should we do it?

Creative AutomaticityGatbonton, E. and Segalowitz, N. (1988) ‘Creative automatization: Principles for promoting fluency within a communicative framework’, TESOL Quarterly, 22, 3.
‘The techniques for this approach are designed to provide students with ample opportunities for repetition and practice within a wholly communicative context, without the shortcomings usually characteristic of pattern drills or other more traditional methods’

What isn’t so helpful...
• Teacher: I found the book.• Students: I found the book.• Teacher: Pen.• Students: I found the pen.• Teacher: Bought.• Students: I bought the pen.

Example of a mindless gap fill..
Use the present perfect to complete these sentences:
1. I _______ ________ (see) the Eiffel Tower.
2. She ________ _________ (eat) snake.
3. They ________ __________ (swim) in the sea.
4. We ________ _________ (fill) in too many of these gap-fill
exercises………

Activities that promote creative automaticity should be …
• genuinely communicative• focused• formulaic• inherently repetitive
![Page 24: NATECLA 2013 - Getting creative with grammar teaching](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/553aa09155034692368b459f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Some common examples…
• A class photo…
• Find someone who… • What’s my line?
• What kind of animal am I? (“Do you have four legs? Can you fly? Do you lay eggs?” etc).

When I am old…When I’m an old woman, I will wear purpleAnd a red hat that doesn’t go and doesn’t suit meAnd I will spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and candles, and say we have no money for butter.I will sit down on the pavement when I am tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bellsAnd run my stick along public railingsAnd make up for the sobriety of my youth.I will go out in slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people’s gardens And learn to spit.

When I am old, I won’t be quiet and I’ll bother my neighbours. I might have a toy-boy.

When we are old we will definitely do many crazy and dangerous things,We will wear full make up from morning and we will spend our money for a face lift.

When I am old, I’ll be a honarable person.I’ll definitely lede the people and I’ll be self-confident.

I've never been in Ireland.But I've been in love with Irish man. He had a huge talant to gain women's favor, but he was so mean. He inculcated in me a taste for art and love for adventure. Our love story was bright and unforgettable, but it finished witha phrase "I'm sorry". At parting he gave me a kiss with an fragrant of Irish legend.
I've never been in Italy.But I've been in love with Italian. He's been very clever, he's known many languages, but he's been so nervous and so fault-finding person.Well, we let as part friends. He gave me gave me as a keepsake the 33 recipes for Italian pasta and one recipe for happiness.
