English Grammar
The teaching of grammar is skills- integrated as it involves both oral and written skills. With this method, we hope to shift the way students view grammar. Grammar accuracy should no longer be considered as an isolated element of language learning, but as an essential feature of successful oral and written communication of ideas and meaning in general.
Objectives:
By the end of the course, the students will be able to:
- Identify the basic grammatical structures of English.
- Demonstrate ability to make appropriate grammatical choices to express the intended
meanings.- Use English correctly and appropriately.
Assessment Method:
Mid-term written Test and end of term written exam.
