process! Short and fun grammar exercises like this can be included on a regular basis
during your lessons to keep correct grammar usage fresh your students’ minds and
improve their recall of the topics at hand.

In lessons where you are not incorporating some sort of game, it is beneficial
to consider inductive teaching. This is a method where you lead the students to the
correct conclusion, rather than feeding them the information straight away. Getting
the students to think about what the correct answer might be and figure it out for
themselves will leave a longer lasting impression in their brain and result in better
retention. It is worth getting your students to speak using the grammar that you are
attempting to teach, in sentences that relate to themselves. They will have to process
the knowledge you have given them in a way that is relevant to them, and in doing
so they will forge a clearer understanding of the context and a memory of how to
use the grammar you have taught in the future. You should also encourage your students
to write down the important sentences and grammatical concepts that you teach them,
so that they have something to refer back to if they need to, but also because writing
something out improves contextual memory.

One particularly useful lesson could be spent on highlighting common mistakes
that people make, and cases of grammar not fitting the expected pattern. By teaching
your students what is incorrect in this way, you can help them to avoid making these
common mistakes. Turning it into a funny or amusing session of picking out subtle
mistakes or ways that poor grammar has led a normal sentence to become ambiguous,
funny or wrong can really help make your lesson very memorable, and one lesson of
showing students what is wrong can often be more valuable than several lessons of
trying to teach what is right.

In summation, all education depends on a foundation of good grammar. If
students cannot understand grammar, they will struggle to read, write or speak clearly
in any other area of education, from maths and science to history or geography. Good
language is the base on which all other education has to stand. Teachers can use a
variety of ways to make their grammar lessons memorable and enjoyable for students.
Students who enjoy their lessons will pay closer attention, and you will then have an
easier time while teaching. This is why great lessons are important for everyone
involved, and why you should take the time to ensure you are teaching grammar in
