Unit 1


GRAMMAR

TKT preparation textbook is a useful tool which helps students to be prepared to take this examination. The textbook has three modules to be studied. The first one is divided into three parts which are also divided into eight small units. The first unit talks about grammar.
In general, grammar refers to how we combine, organize, and change parts of the words, words and groups of words for building meaning. We use grammar unconsciously. We apply language in terms of forms and uses.
I consider that grammar cannot be isolated. Teaching parts of speech in context, for instance, use nouns and adjectives together in a single class. It could be applying fruit names as nouns and colors as adjectives in a single lesson.  Related to grammatical uses it explains the use of grammatical structures to convey meaning.  
The relevant thing here is that students need to do exercises which have both sides focus on form and use, so then they can develop accuracy in both. 

I include some links to check for more information about this topic.
