1. MEANING always 0% NEVER 50% SOMETIMES 100% ALWAYS “I always do my homework. I never play computer games” 2. USE 3. FORM What techniques or activities are suitable for each stage?
Sentence Mimes This activity is good for practicing sentence order (grammar). Choose a simple sentence and create an action for each word. For example: I [point to eye] like [make/point to heart] cats [make a paw]. What other animals can we put in this sentence with actions? We [draw a circle] are [bend finger] reading books [act reading]. What other hobbies can we act with this sentence? What does this mean? [draw a circle] [make/point to heart] [make a paw] In your groups choose a sentence and make mimes to teach the class. Can we make any new sentences with our new actions?
Essential Criteria for Designing Output Practice Activities • systematically focused on grammatical structure(s) • ss use structures for a meaningful purpose • provide frequent opportunities to use the structure(s) • ss associate the form with its meaning • analyze textbook activities for M-U-F dimensions • social scaffolding- T to Ss • planning- from more to less • modality- match the output mode (usually speaking) • speed of production- from slow to fluency • information density- short to long • predictability- from predictable to unpredictable • complexity- short to long texts • self-generated - controlled to free

Introduction to final assignment Teaching Grammar Creatively by Günter Gerngross, Herbert Puchta, Scott Thornbury This is an activity resource book featuring a lot of great grammar lesson ideas. Using a unit from this book, you will prepare and present a grammar lesson (PPT). Each of you will have a different unit. Each unit is a different grammar point and has several lessons. You can follow the lesson, combine parts of different lessons in the unit, or adapt/supplement with your own ideas. We will discuss this more in the next few weeks.
Week 8 Homework Task: Read the introduction for “Teaching Grammar Creatively” available on my website. Then, find and complete the sentences below (fill in the blanks) from the text. The first has been done for you. Example: p.5 Many adult learners have a very strong need to understand…_the rules by which grammatical structures are formed._ Young learners (and some adults too) seem to be… _____________________________________________
Teaching Grammar Creatively Every lesson is a little different, but they all share most of these factors. Stages of a lesson: 1. Meaning Lead in / Model text / Discovery Meaning focus / Inductive 2. Form Consolidation / Form focus 3. Use Use / Text creation
Teaching Grammar Creatively For the next few weeks we’re going to focus on teaching grammar creatively. Today we have activities (not full lessons) for these grammar points: articles apostrophe s comparatives and superlatives
Articles Let’s practice this together. You read the questions. There’s a word on a page. Where’s the page? The page is in a book. Where’s the book? The book is on a table. Where’s the table? The table is in a room. Where’s the room? The room is in a house. Where’s the house?
Articles • Now let’s try some new ones. • There’s a worm in an apple… • There’s a bee on a flower… • There’s a flea on a dog… • There’s a fish in a pond…
Apostrophe s Listen and write my story. Hi, how’s it going? Look there’s a party at Steve’s place. He’s invited some musicians round. Tom’s going, and his flatmate, what’s her name, Tracey. She’s a guitarist and she’s got a great voice. There’s a shop nearby we can buy beer. It’s called Joe’s Wines. Let’s meet at seven.
Apostrophe s Put the words with apostrophe s in the right column: ishasuspossessive ‘s
