This is not another text about why people wonder small details are the most important, and they just can't find out what other people mean by that, but in our context small details live and hide everywhere among the letters, those letters togheter are words, and words make a language. All of this is structured and managed by a very important social convention on languages that is Grammar. Something we can not pass by when about learning and making propper a language, from school to home, this must be evangelized like if it was a religion, and this kind of exageration is maybe the accurate aim for expressing the importance of such a thing. Grammar from my point of view, make us focus into the importance of the small details, in this case of languages. Because by making us stare at things as such the importance of a noun or and adjective, grammar goes further even wanting to express the manage of rhythm by simple signs as comas (,) or even points (.) things as simple as those have a lot of meaning when we consider the grammar, and that must be consider a social rule, and also the non-use must be fight with education. People who usually don't care that would say that even what I write is not important, but as a language teacher student, I'm making on my mind a really active user of grammar just by checking it, learning from it, and always going further by understanding it, which take us to be almost experts when talking about speech structure, and that also would be really worth for us as person, as individuals because the correct use of the language may bring eloquence, synthesis capacity, better than average skill writting, of course an amount of things that might be supported by surveys. This all is gotten by practice, and practice take us just to understand a little bit of our cotidian life, as grammar is present everywhere; In the supermarket list, the agenda, the newspaper, the announcements, the tv, and even in the morning conversation with our parents or friends. Grammar has a lot of meaning and we should encourage ourselves to understand that and share it, because we are owners of it.
1. From your point of view, why you care about grammar?
2. How you think grammar influences learning different languages?
3. Do you think you apply correctly grammar? How you develop those skills?
I must thank my readers, leave also your opinions or comments.
1. Because it is the correct way and clear ( at least sometimes) to express ideas.
ResponderEliminar2. Of course. As I said before it is very important because we all care (in any language) to express logical and clear ideas because we do not want to babble or express something useless.
3. No actually I think I am the the one who commit lots and lots of mistakes at the time of writing or to speak about something.And We learn those skills with the exhaustive practice of the language.
Hi Pipe, hope you are doing well
ResponderEliminar1. I agree with you when you say 'Grammar' in general makes us focus on the importance of the small details, because details such as a comma can change absolutely the meaning of a sentence if we do not know how and when to use it. Nice post!
2. Absolutely, not only for learning but also to do it in a right way.
3. Indeed no, I have improved using the grammar 'cause I know it is necessary, but I know that is not enough. I try to look up information about everything related to it, sometimes I understand, but if I do not, I have to approach a teacher who can explain me better.
1) Because grammar is the best and beautiful way of communication.
ResponderEliminar2) If you want to learn a language and be good, you have to study grammar that is something mandatory.
3) No, we try everyday to improve and be better in this aspect.
Well, I think it is not only because this study career but I think that is the importance of teaching students is our daily lives and what we practice everyday. Not only in our language but has some basic structures for learning foreign languages and greater understanding of what we speak, the English is not just saying words, I think that is generating consiencia of what we actually say.
ResponderEliminar1- Its very important for teaching
ResponderEliminar2- Its the beginning of learning
3- yes, though not without mistakes
1. because grammar leads our language and our communication and the way we express depends on it.
ResponderEliminar2.Because every language has a different grammar (?)
3.I need to improve it more, I try to do it writing more and looking for the correct way to do it.
