Teaching Grammar Creatively by Günter Gerngross, Herbert Puchta, Scott Thornbury This is an activity resource book featuring a lot of great grammar lesson ideas. Using a unit from this book, you will prepare and present a grammar lesson (PPT + materials). Each of you will have a different unit. Each unit is a different grammar point and has several lessons. You can follow the lesson, combine parts of different lessons, or adapt/supplement with your own ideas. Week 9 Homework Task: 1. Read the Introduction for “Teaching Grammar Creatively” available on below (file 1) and complete the questions on the cover sheet. 2. Take a look at the full book below (file 2).

Copy the general design of the units in the Teaching Grammar Creatively book. You can copy sections of the lesson plan and then add/adapt/modify parts. The materials don’t need to be 100% complete, but enough to show and explain. Materials can be found online or created. Tip: Think critically about the lesson. Add examples, materials and context to make it better and more fun for Korean students. Week 11: Lesson planning workshop We will do feedback sessions during class. Lesson plan deadline: November 23 Lesson Plan Deadline - Week 12 (November 23)
Prepare your lesson plan and materials to submit on November 23. Print the plan and materials if possible ready for submission. In Week 12, we will make the final teaching schedule and I will give final feedback on your lesson plans.
