    Reasons of choosing this activity

    In the teaching of grammar, teachers should not try to teach grammar

    consciously. Teachers should try to teach grammar in an implicit way. We choose this

    activity because we are inspired by Batstone who suggested teaching grammar as


    product, process and skill. We consider our activity as a product because it emphasizes

    on the component parts of the language system. As for teaching grammar as process,

    our activity emphasizes on the use of the language by the learner. As our activity strikes

    on both process and product, it shows that our activity involves teaching grammar as

    skill.

    Besides, our activity also adapts the “i+1 hypothesis”. Before the students

    do the activity, teacher explains the meaning of past tense and gives some examples

    for students’ references. It is important to give input to students first before asking them

    to do activity. A language acquirer who is at "level i" must receive comprehensible input

    that is at level i+1. In other words, students acquire only when they understand

    language that contains structure that is 'a little beyond' where they are now." So instead

    of having a teacher aim to teach the students grammatical structure that is at their i+1

    level, students should instead just focus on communication that is understandable. If

    they do this, and if they get enough of that kind of input, then they will in effect be

    receiving and thus acquiring out i+1. In this activity, students get enough input, then

    they use their creativity to come out with a story based on the words given.
