In this course we will strive to develop an understanding of grammar and vocabulary acquisition and its integration in the English language classroom. Students will apply their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary to design effective teaching activities within a communicative context.

More specific goals of the course are: - to understand the importance of grammar learning and teaching; - to examine and review a number of structures of the grammar of English; - to become informed about basic methodologies and approaches to the teaching and learning of grammar and vocabulary; - to present and practice a range of methodologies for teaching grammar and lexis to EFL/ESL learners; - to master effective strategies for teaching and creating materials for teaching grammar and vocabulary; - to develop techniques and strategies for corrective feedback; - to acquire teaching strategies for helping students develop their vocabulary; - to learn to design effective grammar / vocabulary teaching activities.
