A course for off-piste teachers

Standard grammar teaching doesn't stick. This mini course will show you how to use story to make grammar more compelling and more likely to stay with your students.

What is off-piste teaching?

What You'll Get

Six practical units:

  • Unit One: The grammar of a story
  • Unit Two: Narrative tenses and aspect
  • Unit Three: Teaching grammar points through story
  • Unit Four: Using story to teach emergent grammar
  • Unit Five: Grammar and teacher-led storytelling
  • Unit Six: Grammar drawings

Each unit includes short videos where I walk you through the principles, introduce new mindsets and show you how to put ideas into practice.

You'll also get access to The Stream – the LessonStream community – where you can report back, ask questions and connect with other participants, plus live Q&A sessions with me (Jamie).
