How I view grammar in language learning.




For me, grammar teaching is like being a professional seamstress. Becoming a seamstress is not as easy as it sounds just like an English teacher. A good seamstress knows things most people never even consider, and has secrets for quality and craftsmanship that make their sewing stand out. As a seamstress, I will need to master special skills, and acquire knowledge of how to make and mend clothing such as alterations, sew hems, fix tears, mend zippers and buttons, and a wide variety of more advanced skills. In other words, I truly believe that I need to acquire all these secrets and then equip the school children with all the skills I know to help them communicate effectively.
