Course Content (Syllabus)
The aim of the course is to revisit and re-examine traditional models of grammar teaching and learning in theory and in practice. More specifically, the tenets of traditional approaches will be challenged by exploring an alternative approach to grammar: a task-based approach. The main reason for this choice is that it readily fits in with other communicative approaches to foreign language teaching. A task-based approach focuses primarily on performing a communicative task. At the same time, a task-based approach also includes a focus on language structure, but this comes after having carried out a task. In this way, it serves to provide a meaningful context for a focus on grammatical form.
