13-1) Class Activities

[Note Taking]

+Grammar 
 linguistic knowledge / rule memorization - boring / separates skill, no integration into other skills /prescriptive rule

 To improve our grammar lessons? rule + use!!! Shift paradigm and change in test questionnaire!!!!

PPP   Presentation, Practice, Produce
TBLT   Task Based Language Teaching  task(communication, practice first and learn what students need.)

+Error Correction
 Teachers need to be careful not to focus on error correction!!

- Build students' confidence 

- Focus on the content of their communication rather than the grammatical form.
- Get exposed to the correct input repeatedly.
- Real grammatical activities

- Meaning first, and then form later
- Expose to authentic reading materials through extensive reading.


+Integrate Grammar Lesson(passive voice)
Why students use the passive voice? To emphasize the action, to highlight the object than the subject......
   There are many reasons 'when we use' & 'why we use'!!!!- corpus data, Internet, books,etc.

   'Grammarly' is an automated proofreader that was designed to check a written article for grammatical errors. This program checks for grammatical errors, misspelled words, words used in the wrong context, misused punctuation, and possible plagiarism. Extra features include a vocabulary enhancement tool and the ability to automatically generate reference citation. The vocabulary enhancement tool recognizes "plain" words and, in an attempt to improve readability, offers synonymous suggestions.
