Most people when they are learning a new language say: "Grammar is not important, the important thing is that you understand what you are saying and writting". When you are learning a language the grammar lessons start when you are related with the language, because it is really important now that you know the language then you have to know how you use it correctly.Most of the new methods of teaching don't pay too much attention to grammar, but even in our native language it is important to have a good grammar, the sense of a sentence could totally change if you don't put a coma in the right place, or if you use a wrong structure in the sentence you could say something that you did and you still doing it but you don't know how to use the present perfect for example and you end saying something totally different in a different tense, or not only saying also writting a formal letter and you don't give the right message because of your grammar.
The problem with grammar teaching is that some teachers still using a memorizing method to teach grammar, and they don't know how to make their students practice it and have it fluent in their minds, that's why people end hating language and grammar, because they know maybe the rules and structures but they don't know what they really mean and how to use them.
As teachers we have to be very careful with grammar and try to make people learn as children, first they have to talk and then they have to write, having that into account, grammar would be just an addition and a very important addition in language learning.
Foreigners and natives should be aware of grammar, that would create a better communication between people and they won't have problems understanding each other and they would express their ideas as they want to.
Now that you know my point of view, I would like to know yours:
1. How was your learning grammar process?
2. How would you improve grammar education?
3. What do you think about how most teachers teach grammar in this moment?
1. I am still learning grammar and as far as I have studied grammar I have felt joyful with my process.
ResponderEliminar2. With quotidian activities with the one they can find really meaninful learning of it.
3. I cannot speak about all the teachers because I do not know how do they teach grammar. I can speak about the ones that have taught me grammar and the only thing I have to say about them is that they are excellent.
You did a great post.
1) As Cesar said we still improving and learning because life is a never ending learning process.
ResponderEliminar2) Teaching the importance of grammar in life and make them passionate for books
3) Well...we don't want to generalize but teachers have to find a better method because some of them are just boring..
Well, when I started school only taught me Spanish, I really could study grammar in school but was much that I remember very well done; today not only because this career study noted the importance of it but because it is our daily lives.
ResponderEliminarThe a single request so consider improving secondary Education is from eachother same, changing methodologies and teachings of the shortcomings that exist today, considered the importance of this study since elementary school.
Hi Miss Tatiana, I hope you are doing well!
ResponderEliminar1. My grammar learning process is not part of the past, it is still in force. I have to say it is not easy, the more information I look for about it, the more I learn and I realize it is an interesting and fundamental topic.
2. By reading and encouraging reading (about anything), teaching its value and giving simple and everyday examples.
3. I think they consider only known books and ignore the posters that are in the street. I do not mean this is not ok, but with daily examples students can learn easily, at least that's what I think about it.
Hello Tati!
ResponderEliminar1. It was kind of based on practice and learning things everyday, I think It even haven't ended, as I keep learning new things, on grammar and also vocabulary
2. I would like to promote reading as a good way of educating on grammar, asking students to pick a book they like and helping them reading it, will make them learn a lot of things.
3.I think they're still stuck in some way in the past techniques, and they should be able to aproach young people skill with technologies and use it as a way of learning in a more significative way.
