Jon Hird

Spoken grammar is often neglected in the classroom. Much of the grammar covered in published ELT materials and taught globally perpetuates the standard ELT syllabus, which is largely based on 'tidy' and very often more written-like grammar. In Spoken Grammar, Jon Hird explores how teachers can supplement or modify the more traditional ELT approaches by adding elements of spoken grammar to their teaching. 'Spoken grammar' refers to features that commonly occur in more conversational speaking as well as in informal spoken-like contexts, such as social media. The aspects of spoken grammar featured in this book are clearly identifiable, straightforward and teachable. They are features that can be easily explained and practised. The book begins by exploring the nature of written versus spoken English. It then moves on to look at why and how to introduce and practise spoken grammar in the classroom. Alongside clear and practical explanations, it provides authentic examples of each point to help provide context. It also provides plenty of examples of exercises that can practice the language.

Zielgruppe: Move ist ein Kompaktkurs mit steiler Progression, der in fünf kurzen Bänden (Elementary bis Advanced Level) Anfänger mit geringen Vorkenntnissen bis hin zum C1-Niveau nach dem Europäischen Referenzrahmen führt. Move eignet sich vor allem für jüngere Lernende, auch in Intensivkursen. Konzeption: Das Kernmaterial jedes Bandes kann in zwei Volkshochschulsemestern (30 Doppelstunden) bzw. in kürzeren Intensivkursen durchgenommen werden. Jeder Band beinhaltet drei in sich abgeschlossene Abschnitte (modules), die aus je vier Lektionen (units) zu einem übergeordneten Thema sowie einer Wiederholungslektion bestehen. Wortschatz und Redemittel werden innerhalb jedes Moduls in kurzen Abständen wiederholt und dadurch gefestigt. Regelmäßige, kurze Tests geben den Kursteilnehmer/innen einen Überblick über ihren Lernfortschritt. Das Student?s Book bietet - eine Angabe der Lernziele zu Beginn jeder Lektion, formuliert als "Can-do-statements" im Sinne des Gemeinsamen Europäischen Referenzrahmens, - umfangreiche Listening and Speaking Activities, die schwerpunktmäßig die mündliche Kommunikationsfähigkeit trainieren, - abwechslungsreiche Texte zu aktuellen Themen wie lifestyle oder relationships, die Sprech- und Diskussionsanlässe liefern, - integriertes Übungsmaterial für das Selbststudium (eine Seite pro Lektion), - zwei Seiten Grammatikerklärungen, die Listening Scripts und eine Wortliste am Ende jedes Moduls. Das Teacher?s Book beinhaltet u.a. eine zusätzliche Resource Section mit 24 Arbeitsblättern und eine umfangreiche Test Section mit einem Einstufungstest und Tests für das Ende jeder Lektion und jedes Moduls. Auf der CD-ROM gibt es neben zusätzlichem Übungsmaterial und Spielen einen Selbst-Einschätzungsbogen für das Ende jeder Lektion, mit dem der eigene Lernfortschritt anhand von ?Can-do-statements? im Sinne des Europäischen Referenzrahmens beurteilt werden kann.
