Descriptive vs Prescriptive Grammar | Teaching Grammar

#joshesl #tesol #education
Teaching English grammar for EFL / ESL students is not always easy. In this lecture I am going to discuss the role of grammar in second language learning and examine the differences between descriptive and prescriptive grammar.
When it comes to teaching English grammar, many teachers want to know if we should we even teach grammar, since grammar is built up over time and as a result of language interaction and use. To learn the answer, check out the talk and let me know what you think is important when it comes to teaching grammar to second language learners.

Thanks again for another interesting video. I love the use of Elvis - very smart. I think that all EFL and ESL teachers should watch this video. It really made me think about the different types of grammar.

Good points. many teachers forget there is no "right" grammar - just right for the situation and genre.
