The Quiz

Part 1 - When teaching grammar……..

       2. A teacher should use a clear context. Why?

Part 2 - Are the following true or false?
      3. Our aim as teachers is to teach students rules about language and not to teach them how to communicate in English.
      4. Personalised practice is when teachers get their students to use new language to talk or write about things that have nothing to do with them.
      5. A deductive approach to teaching grammar is when the teacher gives the students the rules about a piece of grammar and then gets them to apply them.
      6. An inductive approach to teaching grammar is when the teacher gives the students some language and then gets them to work out the rules for themselves.
