TECHNIQUES FOR TEACHING GRAMMARSTORIESPOEMSNURSERY RHYMESSONGS AND CHANTSSTORIESStories can be used for both eliciting and illustrating grammar points. In addition, a well-told story is the perfect context for a structure-discourse match, but the technique can also be used effectively for a structure-social factor match. A story provides a realistic context for presenting grammar points and holds and focuses pupils attention in a way that no other technique can.It enable pupils to understand the language better by providing the students with real world experiences, relationships between society and people where the target language is spoken, even if they are fictions.ACTIVITIESRead the story Snow White & answer the following in nouns and define whether it is a proper or common noun. Remember to put the Capitals in case of Proper nouns:

1. Who was the fairest in the land?2. Who sent Snow White to the forest?3. Who took Snow White to the forest?4. What did Snow White see in the forest?5. Who lived in the cottage?6. Give the names of the dwarfs?7. How did Snow White died?8. How did the wicked queen tricked Snow White?9. How long did Snow White died?10.Who sat beside Snow White to pray?11.Who came there one day?12.Where did the Prince & Snow White go?13.How did they go?Underline the Nouns (Proper & common) in the story.Put p for proper and c for common noun

Make a List of Names, Places, Animals & ThingsPOEM

Poems, like songs, contextualize a grammar lesson effectively. Since poetry is often spoken, repeated, dealt with, and considered, it acts as an effective tool for practising a specific grammatical structure. Through repeating and considering the poem, the grammatical structures become more deeply internalized. Poems may bring the use of creativity and the rhythm into the language classroom.In the selection of a poem, the teacher should first consider the grammatical structure to be presented, practiced, or reviewed, then the level and the age of the students, next the theme and the length of the poem and its appropriateness to the classroom objectives.ACTIVITyALPHABET POEMVerbsPast TenseDictionary Usage (Vocabulary)Cooperative Learning through group workAn alphabet poem can be used to teach parts of speech or sentence structure while reinforcing dictionary skills. Since this kind of poem is rather long, students were put into groups to write two kinds of alphabet poems. This group poem required the pupils to use their dictionary extensively and to work together to collate group ideas into one group poem.

As a warm up , each group was asked to list on the board all the things that could be happen in childrens daily life. To write the second poem, pupils had to start each letter with a verb in the past tense. This enabled the class to revise their verbs in the simple past tense while writing some wacky and often hilarious group poems.

SONGS, CHANTS, AND NURSERY RHYMESSongs, chants and nursery rhymes are enchanting and culturally rich resources that can easily be used in language classrooms.Concentrate on what to teach (objective) rather than on how to teach.

Can also be used to teach a variety of language items such as sentence patterns, vocabulary, pronunciation, rhythm, adjectives, adverbs,etc.Provides a non-threaten atmosphere for pupils.

CHANT

Giraffes are tall, with necks so long.Elephants' trunks are big and strong.Zebras have stripes and can gallop away, While monkeys in the trees do sway. Old crocodile swims in a pool so deep, Or lies in the sun and goes to sleep.THANK YOUPRESENTED BY:IRA NATASHAFATIN SYAZWANISUZILA
