Episode 72: How Can Our Students Learn Grammar More Effectively? With Jo Gakonga

Grammar stress?   Not sure how to teach it effectively?   Not enough time for meaningful practice because you've just spent half the lesson teaching ALL the rules? This week, I chat with the ever-so-lovely ELT powerhouse Jo Gakonga.  We talk about the issues surrounding teaching and learning grammar, how you can teach it more effectively and with less stress, and more importantly, how your students can learn it in more meaningful way.  And as a bonus, grab your pen because we indulge in a game of lexical tennis, exchanging our ideas for fixed, useful and common phrases with everyone's favourite, the Present Perfect.  I also succeed in changing Jo's long-standing acronym for teaching grammar from CAMP to CAMPR.  Result! Jo Gakonga is a freelance teacher educator, CELTA tutor and assessor and the founder of ELT-Training.com, a website with useful material for trainee, novice and more experienced English language teachers.
