Welcome to 'TeachingEnglish: How to teach grammar'
How will the course help me?
Discover how to help your learners notice, make sense of, and become more confident using grammar with engaging, meaning-focused teaching. Learn about deductive and inductive approaches to grammar teaching, how to evaluate the best approach for your learners and identify contexts and tasks which encourage 'noticing'.

Hi harrypickup
Thanks for your comment - most of our training courses are suitable for teachers teaching a range of ages and levels, unless specifically aimed at a life stage (for example primary learners) in which case this will be clear from the course title.
Hope that helps and that you enjoy the course,
Cath

Teaching grammar can be a challenging task?
Teaching grammar can be a challenging task, but it can also be made engaging and effective by incorporating various strategies and activities.
Start Date in 2023
Looking forward to the next intake for this course. I hope this course will be offered again in 2023
The Fresh Teacher's Request
Please hold this online course again in 2023 without waiting for 2024 because I need to know how to teach grammar implicitly so that the students learn English smoothly.
Continuation after End Date/Deadline?
Dear Team good day. I was not able to beat the set deadline for this course: my phone crashed. So, I stopped at Module 3 with a seventy percent (70%) completion. Now, that the course has ended but would possibly be reopened sometime in 2023, would I still be able to finish up from where I last stopped the course (70% completion?) instead of possibly starting afresh? I would not like all my past work to go in vain because I could not beat the deadline. Please, help!
Deadline for course
Hello Master Tobi
Sorry to say that this course has now ended - it was available for four weeks from 30th August - we hope to offer it again in 2023.

Hi Laraibtaj,
Your account seems to be working okay when I look at it. Can you try logging out of TeachingEnglish and logging back in, or clearing cache if that doesn't work? These tips usually help access problems. Hope you get back in and complete the course!

Hi, are these training courses designed for teaching children, adults or both? The photos would suggest these modules are focused on working with young people. I'd be grateful if you could clarify.
