Clarity

  • Clarity
  • Truth
  • (the truth but not the whole truth)

  • Simplicity
  • (an over-simplification is better than a true but complex rule)

  • Demarcation
  • (check it doesn’t ‘overlap’ with another structure!)

  • Parsimony
  • (don’t give extra information that doesn’t add anything)

Should we explain the rule in L1?

The use of the L1 in grammar explanations may be very helpful for two main purposes:

1. To explain underlying rules

2. To contrast L1 with L2

Should explanations be followed by practice exercises?

Yes: according to skill theory (Dekeyser, 2007)

No: according to model of consciousness-raising (Ellis, 2001)

Probably: minor points of grammar do not need to be practised in focused exercises.

Major features which are very often used wrongly – probably benefit from practice.
