Grammar is often seen as the most boring part of learning a language. However hard students study they still make errors when they attempt to use the language in context.

 

I found a very interesting grammar exercise on esl.about.com which is a fantastic resource site. In the link below you can find a couple of popular quotes made by George W. Bush. The quotes can be used during a warm-up or practice stage. Simply, give the quotes to your students and ask them to try and find grammar or vocabulary mistakes.

 

It is a great chance for students to experience real language in real context.

 

Have a look around the site by clicking on the link below as it is full of Bushisms.
