| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit starts by familiarizing MTL students with the grammatical aspects included in the secondary school syllabi (year 9 - year 11). Later, the study-unit moves on to give MTL students the opportunity to refine their grammatical competences linked to the topics included in the secondary school syllabi. From the very early stages of this study-unit, students are expected to simultaneously identify helpful techniques through which they learn grammar. Throughout the study-unit they are encouraged to critically reflect how they can use these techniques when teaching students in the near future. Study-Unit Aims: The main aims of this particular study unit are: 1. to introduce students to the grammar aspects covered in Maltese GFL secondary school classrooms; 2. to identify challenges students encounter related to the above mentioned GFL grammar points; 3. to show students how through the way they themselves face grammar challenges, they can serve as motivators to students they will teach in GFL secondary school classes. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: 1. Examine the Grammar related content included in Secondary school GFL syllabi; 2. Identify and reflect upon the strengths and the challenges they face when answering grammar exercises; 3. Evaluate different student-friendly strategies through which grammar-learning could become more motivating and grammar rules can offer less challenges (and more opportunities) to the learner. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: 1. Together with the skills tackled in LHG5006, this study units intends to serve as a complimentary opportunity through which students will have the opportunity to: 2. Assess their GFL grammar skills as GFL teachers and how this affects the GFL learning contexts they will work in; 3. Help secondary school GFL students notice that there are different motivating techniques through which grammar learning may be fun and less challenging; 4. Analyze different methods and develop different skills through which they can improve student (and their own i.e. as prospective teachers) GFL grammar competence.
