Episode 98: Breaking the Grammar Myth with Hélène Colinet
In this episode of Growing with Proficiency, the podcast, I sit down with Hélène Colinet to discuss why and how we need to break the myth of grammar teaching and the importance of leading our classes with comprehensible input.
Originally from France and now residing in Spain, Hélène is an extraordinary language educator and trainer who has guided over 2,000 teachers towards more effective teaching methods.
We dive deep into:
- Breaking the Grammar Myth: Why traditional grammar instruction often fails and how to shift towards a more natural language acquisition process.
- Communication Over Rules: The importance of meaningful communication and using language in context.
- Frequent and Relevant Vocabulary: How focusing on high-frequency vocabulary can build a strong linguistic foundation.
- Implementing Comprehensible Input: Practical strategies for incorporating comprehensible input and personalized questions and answers (PQA) into your lessons.
Join us for a conversation filled with practical insights and strategies you can bring into your classroom right away.
