Making Grammar Engaging

Audience focus: Teachers of young learners, Teachers of adolescent learners, Teachers of adult learners, Teacher trainers, Freelance teachers, Business English Teachers

Abstract

Games can be a great way to practice grammar in an engaging way. This will enable students to become more confident and effective in their future conversations. We are going to play three REGIPIO grammar games: Passive Passionate, Reported Speech Champion, and Chain Stories. The discussion following the game tryouts will be focused on generating new ideas for the game cards and how incorporating game-based activities into language learning can lead to more motivated and effective language learners.
