General description and relevant information In this course we will develop an understanding of grammar and vocabulary acquisition and its integration in the English language classroom. Students will apply their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary to design effective teaching activities within a communicative context. This is not an English grammar course; its focus is on effective classroom methods of teaching grammar in an EFL/ESL setting. Exact details and requirements for this subject will be provided on the first day of classes.
