2. Introduction Teaching grammar is an important
part of language teaching.
Grammar is necessary to learn a language.
My experiences learning English grammar.
The question is…………………….

3. What is the best method for teaching English grammar
What is the best method for teaching English grammar? Teaching grammar alone vs. Teaching grammar through situational role play

4. Side one Teaching English grammar alone
Benefits: can cover more complex rules
Can save time,
Teaching feels more efficient
Problems: no practical applications,
No ability to apply rules to a larger context

5. Side two Teaching grammar through situational role play
Benefits: more practical use of the rules,
More effective participation,
Entertaining
Problems: more time demanding and less class time for other work,
Less time to cover other rules

6. Is the sacrifice of the time worth the practical application of the rules?

7. Methodology Make survey Have 19 ELC students take the survey
Average the result
The highest average score is the better teaching method

8. Survey How did you learn grammar when you studied English?
1)Grammar alone, for example, from textbooks and lectures
2)Through activities, for example, situational role play and games

9. Survey (cont’d) 8. If I am older, I would try to get a job in A B C D
Florida.
9. I wonder how much should I tip the driver for a
A B C D
trip to the airport
10. My doctor told me to wearing a hat whenever
A B C
I go into the sun. D

10. Results of the Survey

11. Potential Problems The difference of the average was small
Very different sample sizes
5(with role plays) vs. 14(grammar alone)
Only people taught grammar alone got perfect scores

12. Conclusion
The students who did the situational role plays scored higher than those who didn’t, showing that role plays are worth the extra class time.
The best method of teaching grammar is through activities such as situational role plays.

13. Future Work Have more students take the survey
Ask more different grammar rule questions in the survey
If I had more time to do the survey, I would take the survey to the ELC classrooms
