Teachers’ theories in grammar teaching

Simon Borg

Lecturer in TESOL at the School of Education, University of Leeds. He has also worked as an EFL teacher, and teacher educator in Malta, and New Zealand. His current research interests are teacher cognition, grammar teaching, and the relationship between research and teacher education in ELT. E-mail: <s.borg{at}education.leeds.ac.uk>

This paper considers how research into teachers’ theories in English language teaching (ELT) can enhance our understanding of instruction, and provide the basis of effective teacher development (TD) work. The nature of teachers' theories is illustrated with examples from classroom research on grammar teaching. A TD strategy through which teachers examine the theories underlying their own work in teaching grammar is also outlined, together with materials to assist teachers in implementing this strategy
