Metaphor for teaching grammar- Mohamad Taufek B. Kamil

Teaching grammar is like a ship sailing through an open sea. The ship must have a good ,knowledgeable captain just like a teacher who will chart the course, ordering and motivate the crew in order to reach the destination safely. Meanwhile, the crew are the students. They came from different background with little kowledge abou the sea. It leaves into the hand of an able and expert captain in order to bring the ship and its crew through the ordeal of the open sea.

Teaching Grammar Metaphor - Lau Ung Huat




                                   The Metaphor Of Teaching Grammar

                               


Teaching grammar is just like driving a sport car.  It can be easy or difficult too.  The four wheels of the sport car represent the four parts of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.  The driver controls the sterling which leads to final destination.

Teaching Grammar Metaphor - Huong Yew Ho




Teaching grammar is like drinking water. As we all know, water is the most important need for human. We drink water anytime anywhere, just like teaching and learning grammar. We never stop learning grammar. We as a teacher, we not only teach pupils grammar in school, but also outside the school compound. Teaching grammar is a non-stop process like drinking water. Do you stop “drinking water”(grammar)??

Metaphor as an English Teacher who is teaching grammar.

I think to be a teacher who is teaching grammar mostly like a torchlight with weak batteries, because I cannot produce enough light to my pupils in their grammar lesson. Thus, I have to improve myself in term of accuracy and fluency both in presentation, practice and application as same as changing the old batteries with the new and well-branded batteries which I get through this such C-PELT course to enhance my teaching competencies.

My metaphor for teaching grammar in primary school.

My metaphor for teaching grammar in primary school is just like diving in the sea. Different gear is required for certain type of diving, just as different activity and approach is required to teach certain pupils of different level. Snorkeling involves swimming just below 1 to 5 meter. The pressure is average and we need less skills for this activity. When it comes to scuba diving, which involves diving into more than 10 meter deep from water surface, much complicated gear is used. The same with grammar, the deeper we learn it, the harder it gets.
