My teaching beliefs and philosophy
Due to the great difference between the first and the second language acquisition, grammar plays an important role in the second language learning. I’ll teach my students based on the grammar teaching approach. I believe it will help them a lot in constructing the rudiments of the language. However I do believe that the enough stimuli of the target language in a suitable environment may help the students to pick up the language soon. Therefore, I will also provide a good target language learning environment for my students to learn their target language, English.

Since you mention that you’ll base your teaching on the grammar teaching approach and that you’ll provide a good target language learning environment for your students, I assume that you’ll teach grammar in English. Am I right? It could be beneficial if we teachers speak English all the time in class to set a good model. When it comes to teaching grammar, it is not necessarily all about drills or rules. We can try to integrate it into reading and writing. Then, perhaps students can learn grammar naturally.
