ENHANCING GRAMMAR ACQUISITION FOR YOUNG LEARNERS THROUGH CONTEXTUALIZED LEARNING
Abstract
This abstract addresses strategies for improving grammar acquisition among young learners by embedding grammar instruction within meaningful contexts. Unlike traditional methods that often focus on isolated grammar drills, contextualized learning integrates grammar with storytelling, games, dialogue, and other interactive activities that mirror real-life language use.
