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.

classroom methods of teaching grammar in an EFL/ESL setting. More
