Learn the role of grammar in the UK education system
The course begins with an introduction to the updated terminology of the national curriculum.
As you understand more about the rationale and purpose of grammar within the national curriculum, you’ll look at the underlying linguistic approach of English grammar, helping to improve your confidence in using grammatical concepts and terminology.
Gain in-depth knowledge of grammar rules and concepts
As the course progresses, you’ll deepen your understanding and enhance your teaching of current grammatical concepts, functions, and forms.
You’ll look at the principles behind teaching English grammar and work on embedding grammar into your lessons, making it a useful and fun activity for your students, rather than a box-ticking exercise.

Through this course, you’ll learn how to navigate through and effectively use Englicious.org’s English grammar resources.
