COURSE ORIENTATION

Grammar is a system for making meaning

WHAT IS BEG?

Basic English Grammar

Grammar is a system that helps us understand and use English accurately and appropriately. It connects language form with the meaning a speaker or writer intends to communicate.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Grammar helps us make choices

Different grammatical choices can communicate different meanings and can be more or less appropriate depending on the situation.

HOW WILL WE LEARN?

Three questions to keep asking

FORMWhat does it look like?
MEANINGWhat does it communicate?
USEWhy does it fit here?
03
GRAMMAR AWARENESS
