The best way to unmask learners’ command of grammar is to engage them in discovering for themselves how, when, and why particular grammar points are used in English. To do this, language forms can be introduced through content-rich, rigorous instructional tasks that mirror learners’ communicative needs. Learner output that naturally emerges while completing a task can become the basis for grammar instruction. This means that the content and tasks drive the choice of grammar to teach, rather than the other way around. See how this contextualized, interactive approach to teaching grammar engages learners with the language they need to meet the communicative demands of today’s world.
