Hello buddies,

Well,
Today's blog is going to talk about "Teaching vocabulary and grammar". As we know, vocabulary and grammar are very continuous in forming a good sentence in. English language.
Where vocabulary is the collection of words used frequently that helps to develop cognitive skills; While grammar is the order of words that make up the phrase/sentence or the structure of a language in general.
According to Batsone, R (1994), there are 3 kind in teaching grammar in context for young learners, such us:
1. Teaching grammar as a product => helps learners to notice and structure by focusing on specified forms and meanings.
2. Teaching grammar as process => gives learners practice in the skills of language use, allowing them to procedural their knowledge.
3. Teaching grammar as skill => guides learners to utilize grammar for own communication.
How to teach vocabulary and grammar for young learners:
1. Make Interesting
2. Keep it relevant
3. Teach words in context.
Beside that, we can do some strategies to teach vocabulary and grammar for young learners, namely:
1. Label everything in classroom => we can labels everything such us Posters, Making Maps in classroom, Label containers like, pencil, colored pencils, erasers, rulers, glue, label computers, keyboard, mouse, label a wall, and the classroom door and clock, e.t.c.
2. Pre-teach key vocabulary => We can do this one such us :
1. Show and tell the students about flashcards, and then ask students about the characteristic of that things (words)
2. Be intentional about teaching vocabulary to your students by pre-selecting key words from the text you're about to read. Don’t assume students will know essential words from the text. Give them a quick pretest to assess their current knowledge of key vocabulary, like Vocabulary word. Once you've targeted the words your students don’t know, focus on teaching them!
3. Aside from images, use tangible objects to teach the meanings of words. For example, if introducing the word bark (from a tree), show students a piece of actual bark you found outside. Or, better yet, take them outside and show them!
3. Play Vocabulary and grammar games => Puzzle, BINGO (Word BINGO), CHARADES (Guess the words with gestures), and Apples to apple card.
(CHARADES)

4. Doing a fun learning activities => This activities such us like : Sing a song, Watching video education, and the last is doing story telling to young learners. Because that activities is very interesting to guide the children for learning vocabulary and grammar. Beside that, teacher can do play some art in the classroom, such us:
- Drawing : Teacher can introduce name of the color, tools draw, e.t.c
