Teaching Grammar Communicatively
Lesson Objective: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to explain how to teach grammar communicatively in an English language classroom.
Materials:

• 
  Whiteboard or flipchart
  
• 
  Projector or computer screen
  
• 
  Handout with communicative grammar activities
  

Warm-up (5 minutes):

• 
  Ask students to think about their experiences as English language learners and reflect on what made grammar lessons engaging and effective.
  
• 
  Write their ideas on the whiteboard.
  

Presentation (10 minutes):

• 
  Explain what communicative grammar teaching is and why it is important.
  
• 
  Provide examples of communicative grammar activities (e.g., role plays, discussions, debates) and explain how they can be used to teach grammar in context.
  
• 
  Discuss how communicative grammar teaching differs from traditional grammar instruction.
  

Practice (20 minutes):

• 
  Provide a scenario or situation that requires students to write a professional email (e.g., requesting information, making a complaint, confirming an appointment).
  
• 
  Have students work in pairs to write their own professional email for the given scenario.
  
• 
  Circulate around the classroom to offer feedback and guidance.
  

Production (10 minutes):

• 
  Ask a few students to share their professional email with the class.
  
• 
  Provide constructive feedback on their writing, focusing on areas that need improvement (e.g., clarity, tone, organization, language usage).
  

Wrap-up (5 minutes):

• 
  Summarize the key points covered in the lesson.
  
• 
  Provide students with additional resources for writing professional emails in English (e.g., online writing guides, templates).
  
• 
  Encourage students to practice writing professional emails in English outside of the classroom.
  

Lesson Outcomes:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

1. 
   Use the present perfect tense to talk about past experiences in a communicative context.
   
2. 
   Understand the difference between the present perfect and past simple tenses.
   
3. 
   Communicate effectively with peers using the present perfect tense.
   
4. 
   Apply the present perfect tense in a variety of situations, including everyday conversation and writing tasks.
   
5. 
   Recognize and correct common errors when using the present perfect tense, such as confusion with the present continuous or past simple tenses.
   
6. 
   Appreciate the benefits of communicative grammar teaching for improving their overall language proficiency.
   

Difficulties and Suggested Solutions:

1. 
   When teaching English for Specific Purposes communicatively, there can be a few difficulties that teachers may encounter. Here are some examples:
   
2. 
   Lack of context: If the communicative activity is not based on a relevant and authentic context, students may struggle to see the value in using the target grammar point. Therefore, it's essential to create tasks that are meaningful and practical to the learners' needs and interests.
   
3. 
   Overemphasis on fluency: While fluency is important in communicative language teaching, accuracy should not be overlooked. Teachers need to strike a balance between encouraging students to use the target grammar point in a communicative context and providing feedback to help them improve their accuracy.
   
4. 
   Different learning styles: Students have different learning styles, and some may find it challenging to participate in communicative activities. Teachers need to provide a range of activities to cater to different learning styles, such as visual aids, group work, and written tasks.
   
5. 
   Time constraints: It can be challenging to cover all the necessary language skills and competencies within a limited timeframe. Teachers need to plan activities that are efficient and effective and ensure that each activity has a clear objective.
   
6. 
   Assessment: Communicative grammar teaching can be difficult to assess because it focuses on the use of language in a practical context rather than on discrete grammatical structures. Teachers need to design appropriate assessment tools that reflect the learning objectives and provide constructive feedback to students.
