English Grammar taught backwards
Rui Henriques Too often learners of English don’t understand or are bored by grammatical theory. Worse still, some are traumatised for life … The end result, learner potential is not maximised! English has many exceptions to rules, spelling and pronunciation. This session will demonstrate ways to teach grammar through logical reasoning by using time lines, mnemonics and other simple practical techniques. Rui Henriques is a Parent – Trainer – Teacher – Certified Coach – Motivational Speaker. He aspires to bring out “the best in others”. He holds a degree in Law, and a CELTA, and has worked at the British Council since 2006. |
