Issues and Challenges in Teaching
Grammar To Young Pupils
Young pupils are often not able to think in abstract terms, and are
still developing mental concepts. So, they may not be able to
analyse language through a grammatical perspective. The
teacher should avoid using grammar terms (e.g. passive verb,
subject, object) and focus instead on what grammar can do to
achieve communication.
Keep in mind that pupils may learn easily but forget quickly.
Recycle new grammar items frequently to help them remember.
