Collaborative Grammar

Karen's workshop was brilliant. She showed us how interesting is to teach grammar through a more appealing approach. She also showed us how grammmar dictation works ant what is more, she gave us an exercise to put all the theory into practise and I consider this point really important because you need to see if the activity works before applying it to you students in the classroom. Once again I saw the use of different activities taking into account the different intelligences that stuents have developed. It is really important to include in our teaching different kind of activities because all the students are gifted they just open their packages at different times. We have to make the process complete. THe role of the teacher was also important in this activity becuase the teacher was always supporting the students and what is alse relevant is taht with this method we make checking test easier. Iam sure Iam going to use this technique with my students to revise contextualized grammar. Thank you Karen for your workshop it was great and useful

Karen is another former colleague whom I have enormous respect and admiration for. I am sorry I couldn't attend her workshop with you!

Best of luck in your US travels and I hope to hear from you when you go back to Argentina also!
