We learned a lot about teaching grammar in videos #1 and #2. There's still so much to learn.
What does an actual grammar lesson look like? What are the different steps?
Watch Video #2 • Teach Any English Gram...
In this video, we cover the structure of an ESL grammar lesson and all of the various different sections from start to finish. The grammar lesson created in this video uses the Present Perfect Simple for life experience, with the overall topic of travel experiences. This lesson is appropriate for a strong B1 class.
I'll put a link up before January 10 that has the complete ESL lesson plan, but here's the overall structure. Check back for the full lesson (with materials) in a week!
Here's the basic structure that we cover
Warmer: 5-7 min (the video has a mistake in the graphic. The time should be about 5 min) - For an optional warmer, choose whatever you would like. I usually just go right into my intro.
Intro: 1-2 min - Dress as I've been on a trip and elicit travel-related activities.
Lead In: 7 min - Board various questions related to travel and have students answer them after my demo. These can be questions like...
1. How often do you travel?
2. Do you prefer traveling alone or in groups? What are the advantages
of each?
3. What are three places in your country that every tourist should see?
4. What are 4 of your favorite activities to do when you travel?
Target Language: 10 min - Present the grammar point (see grammar video #2).
Study 1: 5-10 min - Fill in the blank dialogue.
Study 2: 10 min - Creating questions and answers using travel pictures.
Activation: 10-15 min - Create a roleplay where students are applying for a travel magazine. The owners of the travel magazine will interview candidates to find out their travel experience and decide if they think the candidate is suitable for the job.
Error Correction: 3-5 min - Board students' mistakes, correct them as a class, and go over the positives + things to work on.
