Activity 1 Micro grammar lesson
Objective: to give participants a chance to experience a lesson in which grammar is taught inductively
Time: 50 min
Materials: a photo of you as a teenager, handout 1, blackboard/whiteboard, chalk/marker, a short text about yourself (see example).
Procedure:
- ☺ (2 min) Ask students (this step is brief – 3-4 answers will be enough):
How to teach grammar?
- Accept any responses and say that now participants are going to be a group of pre-intermediate English learners. They will be taught a grammar lesson. Remind them that they need to ‘forget’ that they know the grammar rule they will be taught.
Lesson starts
- ☺ (5 min) Show a photo of yourself as a child to the students and ask them the following question:
Looking at the picture what can you say about me when I was at that age?
(You were shorter. Your hair was darker, longer, shorter, etc. You looked very funny.)
- ☺ (10 min) Allow more guesses from the class and then tell students about yourself asking comprehension questions and also questions about students’ life. Note that this is an important part of the lesson because you are involving students in discussion to prepare them to acquire a new grammar construction. Follow the instructions below.
