What's the frequency, Kenneth? Frequency principle in grammar teaching.
Bruno Leys
Summary
In this talk I will look at how the guiding principle of frequency, which is very common in the field of lexis, can also be applied to grammar teaching. This may lead to reconsidering what grammar items we want to teach. I will show how teachers can integrate the aspect of frequency in their choice of grammar points, in their selection of what to teach about these grammar topics, and how they can make sure that the examples and exercises are really relevant for the learners.
