Technology Tools for Teaching Grammar

 Hello everyone, 

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend and you are ready to start a fresh week. 

Teaching in general must be very hard. Especially for new teachers that are on their first steps of their careers must be a struggle with a lot of stress and not feeling good psychically in a kind of way. So you can imagine how it would be Teaching Grammar. Of course it can’t be easy, but it can’t be inaccessible as well. In order to Teach Grammar you need to have a lot of background knowledge and to be confident on using the correct terms and explaining these. You can’t just wake up one morning and be like” oh…I am going to teach grammar cause I know English”, trust me it’s not enough. 

Teaching Grammar is not simply for us as teachers to correct students when they express themselves wrongly, but it’s for students being able to express complex ideas, being able to select from the wide variety of tenses in their mind, differentiating between adverbs of manner and adverbs of place and not only. I can’t say that Teaching Grammar is fun for students, because sometimes they may not understand, others they may feel bored, so in order for them to make Teaching Grammar better and more attractive I have chosen 4 different technological tools that I would like to introduce in my future classroom.

 The first Technological Tool that I would like to introduce is:

QUILL

On Quill students will be able to have fun with free grammar and writing activities. Students can get instant feedback and explanations on sentence structure, fragment and run-on sentences so they can both correct and understand the grammatical rules they’re following. On the teacher-end of Quill, you’ll get a diagnostic summary detailing the areas in which each student should focus more of their learning.

Another one is:

 Grammar Wonderland

Grammar lessons don’t need to be boring and bland. Grammar Wonderland takes students through the wonderful world of verbs, nouns and adjectives as they travel through the different areas of this virtual world.

The third technological tool is:

 Mobilibs

Improvise with your creative storytelling, while getting valuable lessons in grammar with MobiLibs. With twenty great stories to draw from, students will be able to ad lib stories on the go with their mobile device and share with others.

And the last but not least important is:

 Comparative Adjectives

With more than 350 beautiful images held in its library, the Comparative Adjectives app lets students engage in learning in a fun and easy to understand way. The ability to compare and describe differences between objects is a key component in language, and this app gives students an opportunity to explore this area of language in a fun and interactive way.
