Speak the language without learning the grammar of that language #31 (permalink) Sat Jul 04, 2009 3:31 am   Speak the language without learning the grammar of that language
 

Dear Zeinab
The modern methods in communicative approach invent new techniques in teaching the foreign language and precisely in teaching the English language. Language has been taught not as letters, words, or structures. Student started learning the language in relation to context. Nowadays, students are fully aware about the reasons behind learning the language. Teachers nowadays, depended on different types of authentic materials in order to facilitate the process of learning. Students can watch movies, films, hear many songs related to the students’ lecture, they could make jokes, drills, or even say proverbs. Such activity can activate the students’ minds and increase their willingness to learn the language, regardless to the sex, gender, social background or even the culture of those students.

Best regards

Hi Hadeer,

Please note that 'advice' is uncountable so no native speaker would say 'a good advice'. The most effective way of learning English grammar is to use phrases that are used by native speakers. It's much more effective than trying to learn grammar rules.


What you say is so true, learning phrases used by native speakers. However, it is so difficult to know which is correct and incorrect to learn from native speakers' speaking because I have seen many of them using incorrect grammar and structure (as per my knowledge and experience). Many times I am not sure if those ones or the dictionary and grammar books are correct.

This is really tough

But I love this language

Dear Be.emily,
What I did to my students is that I ask them to prepare some drills, jokes, certain phrases used for greetings or to be used in certain occasions, songs that are written on papers and also some important proverbs; all of them should be written in the English language. My students started gathering these materials. In doing so, they started learning these things by heart. Therefore, they started learning a lot of vocabularies and phrases with correct grammar. They learned all these things without realizing that they are learning the grammar of the English language also. In fact, I find that this process is very useful and can activate all my students in the classroom.
