Glorious, Glamourous Grammar and how to teach it

Do you use an inductive or deductive approach when teaching grammar? How effective is it to sometimes use grammar translation when it comes to discussing differences? How much time do you spend on lexical grammar in the classroom? Are you still a PPP type of teacher when it comes to tenses, or do you prefer a more immersive lesson?
In this session we’ll discuss the many different ways you can present grammar in the classroom and talk about the joys of being an eclectic grammar teacher using examples from Gateway to the World, Maturita Edition, the secondary school book from Macmillan.

I’ve been involved in ELT since 1988. During this time, I’ve worked in many different roles and over 30 countries, mainly in a teacher training or academic management position. I hold the Trinity Licentiate Diploma TESOL and for the last twenty years have worked as a freelance teacher trainer . I’ve also taught on CELTA , Business English courses and EU funded teacher training sessions. Since 2007 I’ve been Academic Coordinator for Embassy Summer, developing and delivering intensive language courses for teenagers and young learners across a multitude of centres in the UK, training teachers and ensuring the academic quality across all 13+ centres. Since 2020 I have been working at a Czech Secondary school teaching conversational and exam English classes.
