18 GRAMMAR FOR EVERYONE

Handouts

Use handouts with discretion. Ask yourself whether they will

really have a learning outcome or are they just providing ‘busy’

work. They can be useful additions to student information,

providing examples, summaries and reference material, but for

maximum learning, discussion activities and constructing their

own sentences and charts is important.

The end product of instruction should be greater knowledge

and increased skill. For example, in teaching about adjectives the

students need skill in using adjectives effectively in their own

creative sentences. Circling words and filling in blanks provides

little opportunity for the development of the imagination or

improvement in writing expression – which should be the end

product of successful teaching.
