After talking to Darryl this week, he made me realized that we shouldn’t rely solely on the grammar rules set out in the text books when giving lessons on English grammar. We should be more flexible and practical with grammar use especially in our daily life. Nobody speaks like what they read in a textbook and we definitely do not wish our students to be like robots, which are programmed with a rigid set of grammar rules.
Nonetheless, the “grammar banging” (intensive grammar review sheets) method mentioned in this week’s About.com email is both beneficial to the ESL teachers and the students.
