Summarize, with citations, the aspects of recent research on the teaching of grammar that seem most
promising for supporting ELLs’ English language and literacy learning and content-area achievement.
Next, select an aspect of the structure of English to teach to a group of students, using the approach(es) you
have described in (1). Note that “aspect of the structure” refers to grammar as a system, not to words or
morphemes considered in isolation, nor to pronunciation, spelling, or punctuation. Describe the intended
students of this lesson in terms of age, language background, English-language proficiency, etc. Explain why
these learners need support with this aspect of the grammar. What should learners know about the target
grammatical structure?
