Grammar movies

Grammar movies | The Learning Lounge | Scoop.it

LearnEnglish Grammar movies from the British Council.

Aulde de Barbuat's curator insight, April 14, 6:22 PM

 

Brilliant  brainfriendly grammar resource. Motivating, short grammar movies in context with a pause for the students to repeat.. Students could do role playing drills, and them act the dialogue in pairs, record or film themselves with a phone.

 

Storytelling with pictures and explanations. Besides grammar, enables the students  to practice comprehension, pronunciation,  vocabulary .

 

Good for flipped classroom , blended learning, but great to use in class to..

 

Example: a love story:Past simple or present perfect simple or continuous? |

In my opinion, all grammars should be based on these principles. Very few are.
