If you’re an ESL teacher, you might have some strong feelings about teaching grammar. Most native speakers think they know grammar…. until they start trying to teach it.

Then they quickly realize that being able to use grammar correctly is not at all the same as knowing terminology and being able to explain and teach grammar effectively.

In this episode, we’re talking about five common misconceptions that native speakers often have about teaching grammar when they first become teachers… and how to deal with each of them.

We also recommend helpful grammar resources (including our grammar course!) to make teaching those dreaded grammar lessons a breeze. 

🔗 Resources mentioned in this episode: 

• Teaching Tenses by Rosemary Aitken
• Understanding and Using English Grammar by Betty S. Azar
• Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy
• About Language by Scott Thornbury
• Be Your Own Grammar Guru: complete online grammar course
