More than words nala
This PowerPoint presentation discusses creative ways to teach grammar through speaking and writing activities. It provides many examples of activities that playfully engage with the sounds, words, and structures of the target language. These include poems, songs, word games, translations, and using digital tools. The goal is to make grammar learning more engaging for students by moving beyond traditional methods and incorporating creativity.
