Nick is an English language teacher who has developed interactive tools called Grammar Organizers and a Grammar Cube to help students learn English grammar in a more engaging way. The tools use color-coding and interactive tables to highlight different grammar elements in texts and allow students to visualize and manipulate grammar structures. This helps students learn faster by seeing grammar as a cohesive system rather than isolated parts. The Grammar Cube projects student thinking and allows them to demonstrate a strong understanding of grammar structures. Nick believes these tools help bring grammar "alive" for students rather than teaching it as a dead subject.
This document outlines engaging vocabulary teaching activities and resources for online learning. It discusses the lexical approach to teaching vocabulary, which focuses on words over grammar.
