Grammar Chants

Wednesday May 20, 2009
Grammar chants can be a lot of fun to use in classes. They are especially effective when used to help students learn problematic forms, words, etc. through repetition the right side of the brain engages its 'musical' intelligence. The use of multiple intelligences can go a long way to helping students speak English 'automatically'.

As a Grammar teacher I would say that lessons incorprated are worth and very healpful to non native speakers.Prpositions are very easy to study like other Grammar subjects.
