The aim of this module is to introduce you to a range of ELT approaches for teaching grammar. You'll begin with a brief history of approaches and a look at deductive and inductive approaches to learning. You will summarise ELT approaches, outline their benefits and drawbacks as well as identify and explain inductive and deductive approaches to presenting grammar.

Module 2 – Engaging with grammar – noticing and restructuring

The aim of this module is to explore the concept of noticing and look at various activities to encourage your learners to notice grammatical forms. You will identify what's involved in noticing, modify typical coursebook grammar exercises to provide practice in developing noticing skills as well as design restructuring activities.

Module 3 – Engaging with grammar – different approaches

The aim of this module is to look at a range of techniques for introducing grammar that focus on meaning. You will summarise and evaluate a range of activities for introducing grammar, provide personalised grammar practice for your learners as well as plan the presentation stage of a grammar lesson using an inductive approach.

Hi Anglaispv,

As long as you can see 'My portfolio' you will be able to join the course when it starts on the 30th August.  
If you can't see 'My portfolio' , check that you are not logged into your TeachingEnglish account on a different device or browser. Log out of your account on all devices and browsers, and log in again. Then if you see My Portfolio, click or tap 'My courses' from MY PORTFOLIO. You should be taken to your training course from the start day. If you still can't access your course, log out, clear the cache on your browser and log in again. Hope that helps!

Hi,

Nearly all of the course is self access work so that you can do it when it suits you and we use a platform called ECOMS - you'll see all the information you need about it when you start the course. There are also some live sessions with the educators which you will see on the calendar when the course starts and they are run through Facebook live, but you can access them without a Facebook account. Hope that works well for you :).
