Course reviews
What have other teachers said about how How to teach grammar helped them?
"One example of how I applied the knowledge and skills is by shifting from isolated grammar drills to using grammar in meaningful contexts. for instance, I recently taught the past tense (simple past) by having students write personal narratives about their weekend. instead of focusing only on rules, I guided them to identify and correct tense usage within their own writing. well, this made the grammar more relevant and helped students understand how it functions in real communication."
Course participant, Indonesia
"Now I am trying to teach grammar more inductively in my classes. I am avoiding explanations and giving my students more correct examples so they can discover the rules by themselves."
Course participant, Dominican Republic
"After taking this course, I started using more interactive methods to teach grammar. For example, instead of just explaining the rules of tenses, I now use real-life situations, role-plays, and sentence-building games. This has helped my students understand and apply grammar concepts more effectively and confidently in their speaking and writing."

Course access
Hi Azul,
Sorry to hear that, and from what I can check your account works fine, and in fact I can see the course attached to it. A server problem is a local one, and it may be that the server blocks certain types of web pages just because their filters are set in a certain way. For example, the security settings are usually set very high if it's a school server. Can you try accessing the course at another location ( meaning not linked to that server? Alternatively, contact the person if possible who has admin rights over your local server nd see if they can work out why, or add the site to the permitted list? Fingers crossed you can get it solved and we can see you on the course!

Hi tankwong,
If you enrolled for the course you should be able to see it as you follow through Steps one and two in the instructions: make sure you are logged in ( and it can help to make sure you are logged out of the TeachingEnglish site on other devices). Once you are logged in, you can use the link below ( click or tap to visit our course website). Alternatively, just click 'My portfolio' on the horizontal bar, and you'll see 'My courses' - click that. This will take you to the course. Another thing you will find useful to do is to tick the 'email notification' option on your profile (it's near the bottom of the info), so you get email notifications from us. Hope this helps you get in, and hope you enjoy doing the course!

enrolling on a course
Hello, just for info for you . it is impossible for me to enroll on a course on y computer. I do not have the "enroll for this course" button. But I was able to do this from my telephone. Considering the number of messages you have had from people who are having trouble enrolling maybe this is something you need to look at .
Hi and thanks!
Hi anglaispv,
Thanks for the information, it's really useful to know :). We often have to suggest that people log out of the site on all their devices and then log back in, which usually solves it. Interesting to know that it was easy on a mobile! I'll pass that on,
Hope you enjoy the course!

Hi Sai,
So I understand that you can log in and you can click or tap to visit the course website ( see the links below)?. Another way in is you should see 'My portfolio' when you log into your account and in that menu you'll see 'My courses' which takes you to the course page. If these ways in don't work, log out of the teachingEnglish site on ALL your devices, then log in on the one you are going to use for the course. that usually shows you 'My Portfolio'. If not, then clear your cache on the device and try again :). Hope that works and we can get you into the course!

Hope you join the course to discuss it with educators and course participants :).
