Course Description
This course on teaching English grammar focuses on all aspects of creating an effective grammar presentation for an English class.  By bringing together the aspects of Grammar terminology (and why it is important for both teachers and students to know), the variety of ways to present grammar, the ways to check student understanding (to find out what the students know and to make sure they understand the language being presented), ways to include grammar presentations into a lesson plan, and what errors students make and why they make them, teachers can then begin to write effective grammar presentations to suit individual English classes.
