Making Grammar Class Effective and Enjoyable: Teaching Grammar with Fun

Abstract

Teaching grammar is an essential part of school education. Without good grammar, spoken or written words lose much of their meaning and most of their value. Although grammar is very important, but sadly, grammar is often seen as a difficult and boring subject and one popular method of teaching is to just repeat the correct grammar for a certain situation over and over until it is memorised and able to be repeated, like a parrot. This is dull for both teachers and students, and often only results in the students being able to repeat what they have learned, rather than resulting in a complete understanding that can be applied to all situations. English grammar is very complex, and all its intricacies cannot truly be learned by rote, they must be really understood and understanding is most easily achieved when students are engaged, interested and having fun during a lesson.
