What You'll Learn
TSL 561 Pedagogical Grammar provides students with an overview of past approaches to teaching grammar in second language classrooms, and the relative strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. More recent conceptualisations of the focus-on-form approach argue that grammar teaching must be part of a broader conception of second language learning that includes both form-focused instruction and opportunities for interaction/practice and output. Several focus-on-form methods are then examined critically for their applicability to the TESOL classroom.
