Teaching and learning Grammar is definitely still important as it is a speaking tool. Especially in the young learners' context: When they are learning to speak, it is important to guide them slowly to use the various parts of speech to put their sentences together so that they make sense and with more practice, they can construct more complex sentences which make learning interesting and fun!

The use of proper grammar is important as it can help us understand what is being convey. Without the use of proper grammar, the meaning of a sentence can be changed. Learning the rules of grammar is not easy but it is important for teachers to teach grammar through modelling of proper grammar and language. If children are using improper grammar, we can help them understand what their sentences mean and rephrase it for them. This helps children to learn the language in context and children get to hear and/or try to say the correct sentence.

Grammar is an important tool that allow us to express ourselves clearly. Teachers can be a good role model for their children by using correct grammar or rephrasing their sentences with proper use of grammar.

Grammar is still important today. It allows the listener to fully understand what the speaker is trying to express and to avoid misinterpretation. When conversing with a preschooler, teachers can casually correct the child's grammar when he/she is speaking in incorrect grammar.

I do agree with Mr Richards on this. When we use incorrect grammar, it can lead to a misinterpretation as the message is unclear. When communicating with others with proper grammar, it makes the communication process easier and enjoyable as others are able to understand. Hence, as teachers, we need to be mindful with our grammar when we communicate with them as this will help our children to pick up proper grammar and communicate more effectively with others.

I agree with what he said in the video about grammar being a communicative resource. As teachers, we have to first set ourselves as role models for the children. When we communicate with children day to day, we need to be mindful of the way we speak to the children as children tend to pick up language based on what they hear. Proper grammar would help children to pick up the language and would improve their speech too.

"How can grammar be link to real context?"
I connected to this sentence that Mr. Richard said in the video. As much as we want to teach and proper grammar rules, sometimes I find that teaching our little ones grammar rules can be quite a difficult task. It's more than just the language on it's own. It is also how can we use it to help us better convey what we really mean. Rather than teaching the grammar rules, we should use grammar as a communicative resource in our conversations and help children better understand the context.

Grammar is indeed an important communicative resource. Proper grammar allows one to communicate clearly to another, thus avoiding any miscommunication. When teachers model the proper use of grammar, children will mirror it and their language and speech will also be improved.

The use of grammar in language is modelled to the children during our daily interactions. Although grammar has its technicalities, I believe it should be imparted in context to the children so that they are able to experience and link grammar for real use, instead of seeing grammar as technical terms in the English language.

Learning grammar is important as it helps us to communicate our ideas and thoughts effectively and clearly to others.
As teachers, we should be very mindful of how we speak and model the correct usage of grammar when conversing with the children as children's learning takes place even during daily conversations with us.

I agree with the video on the importance of grammar.  Using incorrect grammar can lead to sentences being meaningless and the message unclear, which in turn can lead to misinterpretation by a communication partner. As the children are mostly interacting with us, it is important for us to model correct communication skills with correct usage grammar.

Grammar is used on a daily basis. We utilize grammer to form sentences and stories to effectively communicate with others. When grammar is incorrectly used, the listener/reader may not understand or misinterpret what the speaker/writer is trying to convey.

As teachers, it is important to use the correct grammar when teaching. When we interact with our children, we encourage them to use complete sentences as they share their experiences. We then use the opportunity to model the use of grammar when we recast or rephrase what they have said (to them/the class).

It is important to teach grammar beyond just the grammar rules. We should teach and use grammar as a communicative resource. As teachers, we should teach the children to use grammar in context. We could model the use of grammar in our daily conversation with the children.

The video speaks about "How can grammar be linked to real context for the use of language." Children take in the information from the teachers and use it in their daily communication. As teachers, we have to be conscious about the grammar we use when speaking as children always model after the teachers.

Based on the video, I agree that grammar is an important communicative resource. As teachers, it is important for us to role model the use of grammar effectively when speaking and teaching to children. When we use good grammar, it makes it easier for children to listen and read with proper understanding.

Grammar is an important communicative resource as it allows ideas to be effectively conveyed across to another person, either verbally or in written format. There was once, a child who doesn’t have a strong background in English said “I want to eating bread”. This sentence can be perceived in 2 ways. 1) the child is eating bread, 2) the child wants to eat bread. This is an example of unclear communication as a result of ineffective use of grammar. Hence as teachers, modelling proper grammar when we speak and write exposes children to using grammatically correct sentences for communication. It is also essential for our daily communication with various stakeholders.

Based on the video, I agree with Professor Richards' view on grammar as a communicative resource. The purpose of using correct grammar is so that information can be communicated more accurately, e.g. the use of past tense.  Thus as teachers we can pay attention to the information the children are communicating and help them recast their sentence according to the correct structure. We can also use our class writing as a way to reinforce grammar through helping the children recast their sentences.

Grammers are largely use during communication. It could be practice by listening and engaging in conversation with young children. There are lots of possibility for the learning of Grammer to be taken place anytime and anywhere.

Grammer can be practice through listening, speaking, reading and also writing. These are also the various stages that we engage children in learning English language

Through our meaningful interactions, we can impart effective communication. Having good command of the language allows this to be done without the need for explicit planning and rather seize teachable moments. In this way, children will not only pick up how to communicate, but they can incorporate other components in conversations - how to communicate appropriately and effectively with others or how to bring our points across.

# data[].attributes.body
As teachers, we need to be good role models to the children. As we communicate and interact with children, we need to be mindful of not just the grammar used but the language as a whole. This would benefit children as they listen and speak to us daily.

# data[].attributes.body
As teachers, we have to be mindful of using correct grammar in teaching and speaking to the children we teach and among parents, colleagues, leaders, and stakeholders. So, to be effective communicators, we need to continue to practice the correct use of grammar in speech and written form. The keyword here is "continue to practice". :D

Grammar should be taught in context as it is a communicative resource - it is needed to communicate with one another.

Rather than focusing on the rules of grammar and the technicalities, for new learners, we should focus on what they want to use the language for (what they would like to/have to communicate about) and then teach them the skills and grammar to tell their narrative.
