Alan Duff), Learning to Listen, and Poem into Poem (with Sandra Moulding), Short and Sweet, and The Language Teacher’sVoice Foreword There are few topics which arouse more heated and passionate debate than grammar And the debate extends even to young learners, with some advocating the necessity of inculcating grammatical concepts and rules with this age group, and others equally resistant to such practices The authors of this book take a middle passage between the shoals of grammatical prescriptivism and of communicative overindulgence They take the view that meaning will always be primary at this level, so that grammar will be integral to activities rather than taught as a separate area.The extent to which grammar is made explicit will also clearly depend on factors such as age and cognitive maturity within an age range from to 14 Their aims are threefold: to enable learners to express themselves as clearly as possible in English, to increase their grammatical accuracy, and to raise awareness of grammatical features—rather than to teach explicit rules They this by offering a rich variety of activities, many of which are game-like in nature, but all of which are based on the most common essential grammatical features of English T he activities take account of the learning style preferences of the learners, and are flagged for physical, aural, spatial, and verbal emphases This is particularly im portant for younger learners, who often have a preference for activities involving movement and the manipulation of objects Those teachers who have already used other books in this series by G ordon Lewis will not be disappointed in this collection, written in collaboration with Hans Mol, who brings his own long and extensive experience of working with younger learners to bear Teachers of younger learners will find this an invaluable addition to the Young Learners titles in this series Alan Maley Introduction ‘We shouldn ’t lose sight of the one thing children best: have f u n ’ (Kenna Bourke) ‘What is grammar?’is the kind of question that seems easy to answer until somebody asks i t ’ (Michael Swan) What is grammar to you? G ram m ar is certainly one of the most controversial areas of language teaching In fact, your approach to gram mar will in many ways determine your position on communicative language teaching, task-based learning, lexical grammar, and any other of the many methodologies and approaches in the world of language teaching Maybe you’ve never stopped to think about grammar much Before you continue reading this introduction, the following activity (either for yourself or with colleagues) Tick the statements which best represent your own beliefs about grammar in English language learning If you can’t find anything that suits you, think about your own opinion or belief My experience is □ Children love grammar! They are keen to follow rules, enjoy doing grammar exercises and coming up with the correct answer IJ Children understand grammar if you don’t bother them with abstract rules I I Children don’t like grammar They get bored because it’s hard to understand ] Very young learners don’t need explicit grammar; older young learners lH My students expect me to teach grammar because they (or their parents) are convinced it is of value to them It takes children a long time to understand grammar I notice it can take years sometimes, so children have to keep on repeating what I teach them, and I need to keep on explaining it iIt’s O K to make mistakes, because applying grammar without errors is a long process that most people will never achieve If there is a gram mar point I want to deal with, I just make sure I use it in everything I say or I don’t teach explicit grammar EJ I find it hard to explain grammar, because my grammar is not perfect either So, I avoid it i IN T R O D U C T I O N □ I feel comfortable teaching grammar to my young learners—it gives me something to hold on to, because it tells my students that certain things work in certain ways CJ I always focus on both form and meaning—the one can’t exist without the other The grammar continuum For many teachers, grammar is the backbone of all language learning ‘Structure’, as it is often called, is perceived as the core thread of the language syllabus and, indeed, the majority of school curricula and the majority of course books are designed according to grammatical criteria At the other end of the grammar spectrum, a huge population of communicative language teachers oppose the explicit teaching of grammar They object to isolating grammar as a system within a system For many who adhere to the notion of communicative language teaching with a capital ‘C ’, grammar should be learnt intuitively through context; grammar should be inferred through meaning and task We feel there is no place for explicit grammar instruction for very young learners, if only because they are not cognitively ready for it; not in their first language and certainly not in their second We feel, however, that for older young learners (6-13) there is a place for a focus on grammar: not the grammar of abstract rules, but fun grammar which works through examples, games, and activities that let learners ‘make sense of this m adness’ through an age-appropriate critical and creative analysis of language The learners And what about these learners? If grammar is taken so seriously and so much attention is paid to it, we believe that children might as well have fun doing it! Children as well as teens tend to like activities that are challenging and slightly out of the ordinary and yet which give them the satisfaction that they are actually learning something useful It can be argued that teachers of young learners are in a special position because their students are at a highly receptive age when everything around them interests them, and are therefore most likely to remember and correctly use what they have learnt We feel that we should take advantage of these factors to teach gram mar in a fun and motivating way In this book, we take a middle approach, which we hope will appeal to both sides of the grammar debate If only because learners have widely varying learning styles, we advocate an eclectic approach to IN TR O D U C TIO N language teaching We believe that meaning should always be our main focus in language learning, as communication is in essence the act of transferring messages from one person to another We not believe the study of grammar needs to be isolated outside the meaning framework It is an intrinsic part of it For us, gram mar is a system that helps make meaning more precise It is possible to introduce gram mar not as something difficult and abstract, but as something in which social skills, physical activity, intellectual thinking skills, creative challenges, and personalization can be combined to improve the learner’s communicative performance However, since grammar is a system with a set of rules, it also needs to be learnt An analogy with sports can illustrate this A football team can train and work on strategy all day long, but the players will also need to practise some basic fundamentals before any strategy can work: they need to be able to pass the ball and shoot—and to this effectively they need to drill these skills It’s the same with grammar Before we can conceptualize things like time and agency, we need to understand the elements of how to express them H ere is where a focus on form can also be helpful Three goals and many tasks This book presents activities for young learners that seek to achieve three goals: - to teach learners to express themselves as clearly as possible with confidence - to strengthen grammatical accuracy in a fun and purposeful way - to increase gram mar awareness among young learners In this we’re most interested in grammatical performance and awareness rather than knowledge of grammatical concepts or rules We’ve chosen to offer a wide range of activity types, including activities that involve drawing and writing on the board, story telling, songs and chants, games, board games, and lots of T P R (Total Physical Response) activities that require children to move about Generally speaking, you will find the following five types of activities: - Input task: children read or listen to an input text and study this to find examples of the grammatical structure; - Noticing task: the activity shows examples, or sets a task that makes children aware of the grammatical topic without explaining it; - Awareness task: children analyse examples and think about, for instance, what certain grammatical words are called or what parts grammatical structures consist of; 140 W O R K S H E E T 17.2 Photocopiable © Oxford University Press 141 W O R K S H E E T 19.12 nicely d iffe r e n t open \ hate d r iv in g morning h a rd usually sunny la u g h -ro a d " xm often phone s ©Hirj g le ft finished bird a n g ry : c a r e fu lly : answer easy 1U! early F ' Photocopiable © Oxford University Press h is p e re d 142 W O R K S H E E T 19.3 Who’s got a dog?
