Grammar is the system of a language. People sometimes describe grammar as the "rules" of a language but in fact no language has rules*. If we use the word "rules", we suggest that somebody created the rules first and then spoke the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages started by people making sounds which evolved into words, phrases and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All languages change over time. What we call "grammar" is simply a reflection of a language at a particular time.
Do we need to study grammar to learn a language? The short answer is "no". Very many people in the world speak their own, native language without having studied its grammar. Children start to speak before they even know the word "grammar". But if you are serious about learning a foreign language, the long answer is "yes, grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly and more efficiently." It's important to think of grammar as something that can help you, like a friend. When you understand the grammar (or system) of a language, you can understand many things yourself, without having to ask a teacher or look in a book.
WHY GRAMMAR IS IMPORTANT?
Grammar is important because it is the language that makes it possible for us to talk about language. Grammar names the types of words and word groups that make up sentences not only in English but in any language. As human beings, we can put sentences together even as children--we can all do grammar. But to be able to talk about how sentences are built, about the types of words and word groups that make up sentences--that is knowing about grammar. And knowing about grammar offers a window into the human mind and into our amazingly complex mental capacity.
People associate grammar with errors and correctness. But knowing about grammar also helps us understand what makes sentences and paragraphs clear and interesting and precise. Grammar can be part of literature discussions, when we and our students closely read the sentences in poetry and stories. And knowing about grammar means finding out that all languages and all dialects follow grammatical patterns.
BASIC IN KANGAROO STUDIES.
The answer of my first question is that we teach whole grammar to students.
First of all we teach them that what is a sentence, parts of speech,tenses,modals,preposition,articles,antonyms,synonyms,one word for many,proverbs and many more things etc.with this students come to know about whole grammar but some are those students who don’t take grammar seriously and they face problem in their exams due to this reason their percentage is less.when they obtain less marks in their subject then they join grammar classes.Then they come to know value of grammar.One day I ask one learner that what is grammar and he reply me that;
it is so because it helps me to construct a sentence, referring to his means to communicate (either spoken or written). Arguably the learner in general could just communicate using words but without a context or shared knowledge his words would fail to have meaning. Therefore grammar acts as his tool to create meaning. But grammar alone fails to create meaning, other elements are also necessary.
To improve their grammar skills.To speak good English with other person when they are going out with their family,friends and so on.And also to remove their hestitation and to build their confidence.Even we do different activities in grammar classes like :
- Word game means they have to speak the word and that word should be in noun.
- Two letter game means that letter should start from those two letters for e.g the letters start from sc
School, science etc.This will increase their vocabulary.
- We can do group discussion with students so that they can built their confidence and also remove their hestitation but we can gave them easy topics so that they are able to speak in the class.
- Even we can ask them easy questions like,what is your name,what are your hobbies,why you have join kangaroo studies.Even this also create confidence in them that they can speak in English.
Different syllabus according to requirement….
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT?
It is different because in 2 weeks we do only main topics we don’t cover full syllabus and that students only want to brush on tenses,articles,preposition,modal,Narrations, Active passive voice and Some vocabulary words.
And in one month we do whole syllabus .In this we have weak students and they don’t know what grammar is and even we have those students who don’t know how to write a single sentence or single word. Those students are very weak in grammar and we have separate batch for them.
Mock test on every SATURDAY: This is for students to revise their previous work side by side. But we have some students who don’t give mock test on Saturday. We suggest if you want to learn grammar you should be regular for grammar classes and read English news paper, listen English songs, watch English movies and also watch English news. This will built your confidence and remove your hesitations.
