Teaching Infinitives after Certain Verbs to Beginners
In
this level we will see many forms of teaching this topic depending of the age
of the people, that is to say, if a classroom that is for beginners with
children of elementary school, we as teachers should teach infinitives after
certain verbs explaining grammatical rules step by step and with their
examples, but with a colorful and decorated presentation to make children
interested in the class, also we have to use games that make them to
participate and to be focused in class because games make that children
unconsciously learn more about the topic and finally we have to apply exercises
and homework about it to make sure that they have learned. Otherwise, in case
of beginners with teenagers and adults, we teach them with grammatical rules
with examples, most of adults and teenagers aren’t interested in the topic or
they think that is hard to understand the topic so it’s valid for them to use
games that make them to participate in classroom, after that we have to put
exercises and homework and also we could suggest them websites with exercises
about this topic to make them fun and focused on it.
There
are some cases that sometimes students of any age in this level are confused
using infinitives after certain verbs in the correct form because we could use
them in negative form with the infinitive or with the verb before the
infinitive, and before the infinitive the verb could be in simple past form or
simple present form, in these cases we have to make the students memorize the
structure of the sentence with these topic and put more exercises to make them
sure about these kind of rules.
Teaching Infinitives after Certain Verbs to
Intermediate
When
we as teachers teach this topic to
teenagers or adults in this level we should consider many strategies to teach both
of them, the first one is that we have to make them read all the grammatical
rules and we explain each rule with their examples, then we ask them to
participate (in oral or written form), then they have to answer exercises of
their books including the listening form, also they could use the Internet in
some websites to practice more about this topic, the computer is a very
interesting device for them to make them interested of learning the structure
of infinitives after certain verbs.
Teaching Infinitives after Certain Verbs to advanced
This
level is very different as the others before, because in this level we as
teachers will ask to students (teenagers or adults) to read the grammatical
rules and they have to explain them with their own examples to make us sure
that they have understood this topic, then we have to ask them to explain their
exercises, if the students are wrong, of course we say them the error and
explain why, or if they have questions of this topic is also valid for them to
ask it, and we also have to put listening exercises and after them we make them
to take notes if they’ve listened infinitives after certain verbs, they can use
also websites of this topic as a hobby and also to keep practicing more about
this topic.
