” “Technologies of teaching grammar 1-4 classes

Practice, Practice

• Practice, Practice
• Now that your students have seen the target structure used correctly, it’s time to give them some practice. Exercises in grammar books will do the job, but your students will benefit from a little extra effort and planning on your part. Try to include a variety of activities that will appeal to several different learning styles. Try using props (like index cards or post its) to arrange words in a sentence. Have oral practice as a group and with partners. Sing a song if you know one, or make one up. Direct your students to a website where they can work on interactive quizzes. Get your students up and moving, linking physical movement with grammatical concepts. The more variety they have in their practice session, the more easily your students will remember the concept you are teaching. Don’t leave out good old written practice, but saving it for homework is best.
