Grammar and Interaction: A Proposal for the Teaching of Grammar by Luiz Carlos Travaglia

A Revolutionary Approach to Grammar Teaching

In his groundbreaking book, "Grammar and Interaction: A Proposal for the Teaching of Grammar," Luiz Carlos Travaglia challenges traditional approaches to grammar instruction and offers a revolutionary new way to teach grammar that is both effective and engaging. Travaglia argues that grammar should not be taught as a set of abstract rules and definitions, but rather as a dynamic tool for communication and interaction.

Grammar as a Tool for Communication

Travaglia believes that grammar is not an end in itself, but rather a means to an end. The goal of grammar instruction should be to help students develop the ability to use language effectively and communicatively. To achieve this goal, Travaglia proposes a shift in focus from the teaching of grammar rules to the teaching of grammar in context.

The Importance of Context

Travaglia argues that grammar can only be truly understood and mastered when it is taught in the context of real-world communication. By providing students with opportunities to use grammar in authentic communicative situations, teachers can help them to develop a deeper understanding of how grammar works and how to use it effectively.

Interactive Grammar Instruction

Travaglia's approach to grammar teaching is highly interactive and student-centered. He encourages teachers to create a classroom environment in which students are actively engaged in the learning process. Through pair work, group work, and whole-class discussions, students are given ample opportunities to practice using grammar in a variety of contexts.

Benefits of Travaglia's Approach

Travaglia's approach to grammar teaching has been shown to have a number of benefits for students, including:

• Improved grammar skills
• Increased fluency
• Enhanced communication skills
• Greater confidence in using language
• A deeper understanding of how language works

Conclusion

"Grammar and Interaction: A Proposal for the Teaching of Grammar" is a must-read for any language teacher who is looking for a more effective and engaging way to teach grammar. Travaglia's revolutionary approach is based on sound research and has been proven to help students develop the grammar skills they need to communicate effectively in the real world.
