TASK 1 Tripping Down Memory Lane

In groups, take turn in sharing how your papers, in elementary and/or high school,
were graded or marked for your errors in sentence structure. What realizations do
you have after listening to your friends’ experiences? Write your answer in the index
card below.

- Based on the answer of my partner, I realize that there are similarities on

how our teacher in elementary and high school checks our papers. In High
school, there are some teachers that check our paper with feedback written
in our papers but there are some who just check our papers without
feedback. In Elementary, our teacher checks our papers with “very good or
good” written on it.

TASK 2 Interacting with the Text

Read, “Teaching and Assessing Grammar in the Writing Classroom” by accessing

http://owl.purdue.edu/owl/teacher_and_tutor_resources/teaching_resources/
teaching_and_assessing_grammar.html. Then answer the following questions.

1. What are the different ways to address grammar in a writing class?

- Weekly “mini:” lesson
- Student grammar presentation
- conference “tutorials.”
- Independent study guide and test

2. What are the methods of marking grammatical errors in student’s papers?

-focus on a pattern of error
- correct only the first instance of error
-place a check mark in a margin beside the line where the error occurs discuss the
pattern during conferences

3. What proofreading strategies are highlighted?

Read the students’ papers aloud
- Have a friend or roommate read it aloud while they look on.
- Read backwards in order to focus the brain on sentence level error.
- Print a paper copy and edit by hand. Give students a handout of editorial
symbols to help them.

TASK 3 Knowing My Grammar Test Results

One of the many ways to find out your level is to take the English Grammar Test, a
free online
Grammar test, which can be accessed from https://www.stgeorges.co.uk/online-
english/online-english-test.
What can be deduced from your grammar test results?
Based on my results on the SGI English Test, I got a lot of
correct answers but also a lot of wrong answers. I really need
to practice more about my grammar skills because it needs to
be developed and enhanced.

TASK 4 Checking between Form and Use

Search for uploaded videos on the teaching of grammar which tends to promote the
‘use of language over the ‘form/structure’ of language. Discuss (1) how could a focus
on language use be integrated and (2) what does research say about integration of
use and form in assessing students’ grammar competence?

1. The language is integrated into a natural context and taught through real life
situations in order to motivate students to acquire language for the sake of
communication.
2. Assessment did not only help students to write more sentences but it also
helped them write more number of grammatically correct sentences.

TASK 6 Looking through the MELC-English

Given the list of MELC, identify the grammar lessons to support the students’
acquisition of the identified essential learning competencies.

Grade 10 Level Standard Most Essential Learning Competencies

(Quarter 4)
1. Distinguish technical terms used
in research (EN10V-Iva-30)
“ The learner demonstrates 2. Give technical and operational
communicative competence through definitions (EN10V-11a-13.9)
his/her understanding of literature and 3. Give expanded definitions of
other text types for a deeper words (EN10V-IIIa-13.9)

4. Observe grammar in making
including Philippine Literature”
definitions (EN10G-IIa-29)
5. Compose a research report on a
relevant social issue (EN10SS-IV-2.3)

Questions:
1. What grammar lessons will you consider to support the acquisition of the
grade level standard?
-The grammar lesson that we will use is Distinguish technical terms used in research
(EN10V-Iva-30).

2. What are your bases for your answers in item 1?

-Based on the Grade 10 level standard and the phrase that is written in the box, we
thought that (EN10V-Iva-30) is a good grammar to use.
3. What assessment task will you give to evaluate students’ mastery of the
grammar items?
- Sentence definitions which the students provide detail and a simple
explanation by using 3 parts: The word, class, and distinguishing features.

4. What challenges will you probably encounter in developing the students’

grammatical competence? How will you deal with them?
- The challenges that we will probably encounter is to make the students
familiarize the grammar rules because if they don’t, the teacher will teach
again and it will be time consuming.

TASK 7 A Way with Standards

Listed below are sample competencies that language teachers want their students to
learn. For each of the competency, describe the type of task that, you, as teacher,
will likely develop in your students.

English Conventions Type of Task

My students can…
Demonstrate command of the Making a paragraph

domain-specific words and phrases.

TASK 8 Room for Improvement

Go over the writing rubric presented above and do the task below. Then, share your
answers with the members of the class in a creative way.
1. Explain ways on how to improve the rubric based on how rubrics must be
written.
- The first step is identifying which type of rubric is best for your students.
2. Provide research-based comments on each of the aspects of a scoring
rubric.Make your criteria clear, Separate the feedback. If you are going to grade
students on their idea, then you should be teaching lessons on how to develop
original ideas that meet your standard.

TASK 9 My Type of Games

Assessments which are done with the use of video games have been capitalized on
since most of the students are highly conversant with digital play. Imagine you are
applying as a junior high school English teacher and you are asked, during the
interview, to share some appealing games that you would use in your English class.
How will you convince the interviewer that you are the teacher they want? Organize
your answer using the talking points below.
● Choice of year level
- For Junior High School level, I would recommend games like “Jeopardy,”
“Wheel of Fortune,” or “Who wants to Be a Millionaire” to review grammar and
literature concepts.

● Grammar focus
- For teaching grammar concepts, games like “Mad Libs,” Grammar Ninja,” or
“Grammar Bytes” are excellent choices. These games help students to identify and
practice various parts of speech, sentence structure, and grammar rules.

● Method
- To make grammar instruction more engaging and interactive, I would use
games that incorporate technology, like Kahoot, Quizlet, or Quizizz. These games
allow students to compete with one another and provide immediate feedback on
their understanding of the material.
● Type of assessment task
- To assess students’ grasp of grammar concepts, I would use games like
“Grammar Blast,” “Grammar Gorillas,” or “Grammar Pop” that provide instant
feedback on student performance. These games can be used as formative
assessments to identify areas where students need additional practice.

● Samples of techno-based grammar assessment games

- Kahoot: This game allows the teacher to create quizzes on various topics,
including grammar. Students can compete against one another abd earn
points for correct answers.
- Quizlet: This platform allows teachers to create digital flashcards and
quizzes for their students. The quizzes can be self-paced or timed and provide
immediate feedback on student performance.
- Quizizz: Similar to Kahoot, Quizizz is a game-based learning platform that
allows students to compete against one another in quizzes on various topics,
including grammar.

To convince the interviewer that I am the teacher they want, I would

emphasize my passion for teaching and my commitment to making
learning engaging and interactive. I would also highlight my experience using
games and technology in the classroom to enhance student learning and
engagement. Additionally, I would provide examples of successful lessons
and activities I have created in the past that demonstrate my ability to teach
grammar concepts effectively and in an engaging way.

TASK 10 Grammar Sites

Using the ingenuity, provide salient descriptions of the enumerated grammar sites
and share your experiences as you explore each of them.
1. Brain Pop Grammar
- It provides a grammar progression and focuses on reading, writing,
vocabulary building, listening, and speaking. Content is broken down into
three levels. Each level is made up of six units and each unit contains
five lessons.

2. Grammar Bytes
- In Grammar Bytes! you get a list of grammar-related terms, complete with
explanations and example sentences. Topics range from sentence fragments
to punctuation to subordinate conjunctions; interactive exercises test your
comprehension on a dozen subjects.

3. Grammar Gold
- This website offers a number of exercises in order to learn grammar from
the scratch.
4. Grammarly Handbook
 - The Grammarly Handbook is a virtual grammar handbook that describes
various grammatical rules and offers examples of correct and incorrect use.

5. Grammar Snack
- is a great site from the British Council to watch videos about grammar shown in a
natural way. The videos offer the grammar in context with subtitles and although the
videos might be a bit too long for an elementary student , it gives them the chance to
read along and improve pronunciation.

6. Fun Brain Grammar Gorillas

- Fun brain is a site with many educational games for kids. It is a free site so
doesn't have any bells and whistles. The Grammar Gorillas asks kids to
determine which part of speech a word is. I like that it has a beginner level
and an advanced level. I also like that it asks them to find the part of speech
in a sentence, not in a list of words.
7. Road to Grammar
- Road to Grammar is a site that offers quizzes, games and extra practice for
grammar with instant feedback and explanations.

TASK 11 Beyond Words

Discuss the implication of indicating and highlighting ‘grammar awareness and

structure,’ like the other six of the domains, from Kinder to Grade 12, in the
language arts curriculum. How should teachers regard the grammar instruction
(teaching and assessing)?

- Indicating and highlighting "grammar awareness and structure" as one of the key
domains in the language arts curriculum from kindergarten to grade 12 implies the
importance of teaching and assessing grammar in the language learning process. By
doing so, students are given the opportunity to develop their language skills
holistically, which includes the ability to communicate effectively, understand and
interpret different types of texts, and express themselves creatively.

Grammar instruction is essential in helping students develop a strong foundation in

language learning. It provides students with the necessary tools to communicate
effectively and clearly in both written and oral forms. Teachers should regard
grammar instruction as a critical component of language learning that needs to be
taught and assessed in a meaningful and engaging way.

Assessing grammar should also be done in a way that aligns with the instructional
approach used. Teachers should use a mix of formative and summative assessments
to monitor student progress and adjust instruction as needed. Formative
assessments can be used to provide immediate feedback to students and adjust
instruction accordingly, while summative assessments can be used to evaluate
student learning at the end of a unit or course.

TASK 12 My Compendium
Design an assessment task/s for each learning competency. Before each task, explain
why it is the most appropriate language task that students will do to support their
development of grammatical competence.
Level Learning Competency
At the end of Grade 3 ● Demonstrate grammatical
awareness by being able to read,
speak and write correctly
● Communicate effectively, in oral and
written forms, using the correct
grammatical structure of English
Grade 4 ● Demonstrate a command of the
conventions of standard English
grammar and usage when writing
and speaking
Grade 5 ● Compose clear and coherent
sentences using appropriate
grammatical structures
Grade 8 ● Use parallel structures
● Use appropriate cohesive devices in
composing an informative speech
● Use appropriate grammatical signals
or expressions suitable to each
pattern of idea development:
general to particular, claim and
counterclaim, problem-solution,
cause-effect, and others.
Grade 9 ● Use adverbs in narration
● Use past conditionals in expressing
arguments
Grade 10 ● Use modals effectively

TASK 13 If I may suggest…

Download apps and study its applicability to an English class. Identify the most useful
applications that you would recommend to your students to improve their
grammatical competence. Explain your criteria in choosing those apps over the many
available online.
1. Grammarly
- It is useful because it is easy to use and provides detailed explanations for its
suggestions, so students can learn from their mistakes.

2. Duolingo
- Provides a gamified learning experience that is engaging and fun for students.
3. Kahoot
- Promotes active learning and can be customized to meet the needs of different
students.

4. Quizlet
- Allows students to create their own study materials and can be used on a variety of
devices.

5. TED-Ed
- Presents complex concepts in a simple and engaging way that is accessible to
students of all levels.

TASK 13 Technology in Grammar Assessment

Choose two of the listed student abilities and provide details on what online tool you
would use as an English teacher to assess the students’ ability.
● Compose a letter of inquiry
- In composing a letter of inquiry, I would use the Hemingway Editor. It is a
web-based tool that can help my students improve the clarity and readability of their
writing. It highlights complex sentences, passive voice, and adverbs, and provides
suggestions for simplifying the text.

● Summarize procedures
- In summarizing procedures, I would use EasyBib. It is an online tool that can
help my students create accurate and complete summaries of procedures. It can also
provide guidance on citing sources and avoiding plagiarism.
