Reading assignment - due week 7 (October 19)
Read Week 6 text on my website.
Complete the tasks below.
​
Tasks
  1. Discussion Board: Look at the parameters list on pp.121-122. Choose either young learners or adult learners and think about how the you would need to apply the parameters for those learners. Write about a paragraph explaining how these parameters would work for your learners. Example: (Planning time) Young learners need more planning and rehearsal time before language output.
  2. Bring to Class: Make or highlight a list of 5 tips for teachers from information in the reading (not including the parameters p.121~). Each tip can be 1-2 sentences. You may have to write them in your own words. Example: (p.117) Meaningless drills may not actually help students’ communication skills outside of the classroom.

Prepare a grammar activity
Bring a grammar activity to demonstrate in small groups, and maybe with the class. The grammar activity can be to practice use (communication) or to
focus on form.

Note: This is not whole lesson, just one activity.
Introduction to final assignment
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).
Each unit (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 …) has a different grammar point. Choose 1-2 units from any chapter that you may like to prepare a lesson for.

In Week 9 you chose a unit from the Creative Grammar book. Read your chosen Creative Grammar unit carefully. This will be the unit for your final lesson plan. Consider the changes you want to make.Be prepared to discuss.
​You may…
  • Mix in other activities / steps
  • Change the examples
  • Add additional context / situations / topics
  • Localize the content
  • Improve the materials
  • …and so on
Homework for Week 11
Bring your first draft of your lesson plan.
“First draft” means a basic outline of the key parts of the lesson + some examples of materials you may need for the lesson.
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.
