Using stories and literature in grammar-based lessons are effective ways to enhance learning and facilitate enjoyment. Instead of lecturing on the grammar rules alone, stories demonstrate how grammar works when used. This way, students do not only learn grammar as rule sets to memorize, but also as tools for communication.
If students are reading short stories or articles, they are naturaly exposed to grammatical forms. For example, if the story is written in the past tense, they come to know how the verb forms of the past are being utilized. The forms can be made to locate and analyze by the teachers, which will lead to better understanding and usage.
To integrate literature into planning, the teacher may choose a text that aligns with the topic of grammar. Before reading, students may predict and set out principal grammar points. While reading, they can underline instances of the target structure. After reading, rewriting the story in an atrnative tense or creating a new ending using the same grammar point aids in consolidating learning.
Stories can also be used as the basis for speaking or writing exercises. Students can create their own stories using the grammar they have learned, and the lesson becomes more interesting and creative.
