Vocabulary, Vocabulary Games - www.localhost/vocabulary Teaching Grammar through listening (English-as-a-foreign-language version) 1. Introduction In all of my posts on grammar instruction I have made the very important point that for grammar to be fully acquired it must be practised extensively through all four skills. However, this is not what usually happens, grammar practice occurring in most language classrooms predominantly through the written medium. Of the four language skills, the one that is always neglected in grammar instruction is definitely Listening. The parsing phase is the stage in the comprehension of aural input in which the listener recognizes a grammar pattern in a string of words and fits it to the surrounding linguistic context. In this post I intend to show how grammar can be modelled and practised aurally through highly impactful L.A.M. 2.L.A.M. grammar activities 2.1 Sentence puzzles Sentence puzzles like the one in Figure 1 below are a very effective way to teach grammar and syntax through listening. 2.2 Sentence builders 2.3 Sorting tasks 2.4 Listening hunts 2.5 Interlingual comparisons 2.6.

It nevertheless provides a guide for managing the learning environment. Goals Teachers need to have a precise notion of educational goals / objectives / standards / competences Content Content is chosen according to the level and needs of the learners. Instructional procedure The effective teacher also needs to develop a plan to provide direction toward the attainment of the selected objectives. Timing The effective teacher certainly controls the way time is used. Evaluation procedure There should be some kind of feed back tasks to highlight lesson deficiencies.
