CHAPTER I

A.    Introduction

Teaching pedagogical grammar in the context of academic writing for English language learners involves focusing on grammar content that supports their writing skills. This includes integrating grammar with the four language skills: speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Effective teaching methods should aim to enhance learners' understanding of grammatical structures that are necessary for academic communication, particularly tailored for English for Academic Purposes (EAP). This approach not only enriches students' writing but also enables them to express their ideas clearly and effectively.

What is pedagogical grammar ? Pedagogical grammar is a branch of grammar that focuses on teaching and learning grammar effectively. It involves analyzing grammatical structures and rules to create educational resources, methods, and approaches suitable for language learners. The goal of pedagogical grammar is to make the complexities of grammar accessible and relevant to students, enabling them to understand and use the language correctly in various contexts.

Key aspects of pedagogical grammar include :

  1. Simplification: Presenting grammatical concepts in a way that is easier for learners to               grasp, often by reducing technical jargon and focusing on practical usage.
  2. Contextualization: Teaching grammar within the context of real-life communication and        language use rather than in isolation. This helps learners see how grammar functions in            authentic situations.
  3. Incremental Learning: Introducing grammatical concepts in a progressive manner,                starting with simple forms and gradually moving to more complex structures.
  4. Focus on Communication: Emphasizing the use of grammar to enhance communication         skills, rather than just rote memorization of rules.
  5. Cultural and Situational Relevance: Teaching grammar with consideration of the                  cultural and situational contexts in which the language is used.

Pedagogical grammar plays a crucial role in language education, as it helps learners develop a deeper understanding of how grammar influences meaning and fluency. If you're interested in a specific aspect or application of pedagogical grammar, feel free to ask!

B.     ELLs

  Enriching English language learners (ELLs) through context involves providing them with meaningful, relevant, and engaging situations that enhance their language skills. Here are some approaches and contexts to support ELLs effectively :

1. Cultural Context

·       Integrate Cultural Content: Use literature, music, art, and traditions from diverse cultures to teach language in context. Discussing cultural differences and similarities can make learning more relatable and engaging.

·         Celebrate Holidays: Introduce vocabulary and phrases related to various cultural holidays and events, allowing learners to share their traditions while learning about others.

2. Real-Life Situations

·         Simulated Scenarios: Create role-playing activities that mimic real-life situations, such as shopping, ordering food, or asking for directions. This helps learners practice vocabulary and grammar relevant to daily interactions.

·         Field Trips and Community Involvement: Organize visits to local businesses, community centers, or cultural events where learners can practice their language skills in authentic settings.

3. Media and Technology

·         Use Multimedia Resources: Incorporate videos, podcasts, and online articles that reflect current events or topics of interest to ELLs. Discussing these materials can enhance vocabulary and comprehension.

·         Interactive Apps and Games: Utilize language-learning apps and online games that provide context-rich experiences for vocabulary and grammar practice.

4. Project-Based Learning

·         Encourage Collaborative Projects: Work on group projects that require research, presentation, and discussion. For example, students could create a presentation on a cultural aspect related to a historical event.

·         Service Learning: Integrate community service projects where learners can apply language skills in real-world contexts, such as volunteering at a local organization.

5. Literature and Storytelling

·         Explore Diverse Literature: Read books and stories from various cultures that reflect the backgrounds of the learners. This not only improves language skills but also fosters empathy and understanding.

·         Personal Storytelling: Encourage learners to share their own stories and experiences, helping them practice language while building confidence.

6. Science and Technology Contexts

·         STEM Activities: Incorporate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities that require ELLs to use English in problem-solving and experimentation. This can be especially motivating for learners who are interested in these subjects.

·         Hands-On Learning: Engage learners in hands-on activities, such as cooking or crafting, that require following instructions and using descriptive language.

7. Classroom Conversations

·         Structured Discussions: Use specific topics, such as environmental issues or social justice, for structured classroom discussions. This gives learners the opportunity to practice speaking and listening while exploring important global issues.

·         Peer Teaching: Have students teach each other about specific topics in their first language (if they share a language) and then translate it into English. This can enrich vocabulary and improve speaking skills.

By embedding these contexts into English language instruction, educators can create a rich and supportive environment for ELLs, helping them to acquire language skills in meaningful ways. If you’d like to delve deeper into any of these aspects or have specific situations in mind, let me know!


CHAPTER II. Discussion


Omar, Y. Z. (2019). Teaching Pedagogical Grammar in Context to Enrich English Language Learners' Academic Writing. Online Submission, 2(3), 213- 225.

The authors is Dr. Youssif Zaghwani Omar an assistant professor of linguistics and translation, Faculty of Arts, University of Benghazi, Libya.

This article focuses on how to teach pedagogical grammar to help ELLs write effectively in academic situations. The main objective of this study is to explore how teaching pedagogical grammar can enhance and enrich ELLs’ academic writing. Findings of this study are going to propose some strategies, regarding teaching pedagogical grammar in writing contexts to enhance ELLs’ academic writing. This study, also, might be used for future investigations in the same or relevant topics.

For the intended audience that should read this article for student that related with English language, such as English Education Department or English Literature Department, so that they will know what method that they will use for teaching grammar to enrich English Langauge Learners’ Academic Writing.

The method The paper is based on literature review and interviewing nine ELLs, regarding the challenges they encounter while writing in academic situations. The researcher has used qualitative research method to fulfill this study, trying to investigate about the challenges that ELLs encounter while writing in academic situations.

This unique things in this article there is no unique things for describing the findings of this study. Since the method that this paper used is just based on literature review and intervieweing nine ELLs.

The authors conclude According to the findings obtained from both primary and secondary resources, the researchers have provided some recommendations that might be used by decision makers, administrators, and

teachers of writing to improve the methods of teaching writing at school. Teachers of writing should motivate students to manipulate grammar in writing contexts. Grammar helps students enrich and enhance their writing because, as Weaver (2008) sees, “by focusing on certain grammatical constructions as they draft or revise, students – indeed, all of us – can write more interesting, more detailed sentences” (p. 3). They should find effective and easy methods for teaching grammar as an interesting subject in writing contexts. Teaching grammar in context helps students construct mental images in mind, get high scores in standardized test, learn English faster, and become good users of oral and written language. They should encourage students to write for real purposes inside and outside school and to practice academic writing and share ideas with potential readers.

The study of this article is suitable for the students and lecturer of English Education major, especially on the subject Method of Teaching and Grammar. So that they can know what is the gap in teaching Grammar in writing context from this study.

The limitations in this article is the scope of this study is limited to identifying the importance of teaching pedagogical grammar in writing contexts to enhance and enrich students’ academic writing.

I am in favor with the statement, They should encourage students to write for real purposes inside and outside school and to practice academic writing and share ideas with potential readers. I realized that using grammar for academic writing context is important. Because It will helps us to understand and making a journal writing to enhance our skills in writing using grammar skills.

This article is very useful for me as a student majoring in English Education, I can see its relevance to my studies with my course. From this study, I feel that Grammar for academic writing has a crucial things that I have to realized. Because when I am in thesis writing it will helps me to write with a good grammar.

CHAPTER III. Conclusion

 

In the context of English Language Learners (ELLs), “nine” can refer to several things, depending on what you're asking about. Here are a few interpretations that might apply :

A.    Nine Characteristics of Effective ELL Instruction

Here are nine key characteristics that can enhance instruction for ELLs :

·         Culturally Responsive Teaching: Incorporate students' cultural backgrounds into lessons.

·         Language Development Focus: Emphasize the development of language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing).

·         Scaffolding: Provide supports that enable learners to understand complex concepts with assistance.

·         Collaboration: Encourage group work and peer interactions for language practice.

·         Contextual Learning: Use real-life situations and authentic materials for learning.

·         Differentiated Instruction: Tailor lessons to meet the diverse needs of learners.

·         Assessment for Learning: Use formative assessments to inform instruction and support language growth.

·         Technology Integration: Use technology to enhance language learning and engagement.

 

B.     Method of Teaching and Grammar

Teaching methods play a critical role in how grammar is taught to learners, especially for English Language Learners (ELLs) and students of different proficiency levels. Here’s an overview of effective methods for teaching grammar, along with a discussion of their implications and outcomes :

  1. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)
  2. Task-Based Langguage Teaching ( TBLT )
  3. Explicit Instruction
  4. Grammer in Context
  5. Inductive Instruction
  6. Integrated Skills Approach
  7. Technology-Enhanced Learning
  8. Collaborative Learning

Incorporating these methods can greatly enhance the effectiveness of grammar instruction in a diverse classroom. The best approach often involves blending techniques to meet the specific needs of learners and making grammar relevant to their experiences. It’s essential to create a balance between form-focused and meaning-focused instruction to develop both accuracy and fluency.
