I think that it is a very good method for learning english, because we used internet for looking for information.
This was my first time using blog because I didn't have it.
In the beginning was a little complicated because I didn't know how to post and everything , but then I had the help for my friend and teacher and I did it!
The Lab session I think that they could be in the English Lab because sometimes when we were working in the Lab, other student from other careers needed the lab and we had to leave it.

Why is important to know about parts of speech?
Is very important to know the part of the speech because they help us to improve our writing as well as our speaking.
A good understanding of what role each part of speech plays in a sentence will strengthen our grammar. It’s also helpful to know about the parts of speech when in a writing class.
Knowing the names of parts of speech is important for learning and discussing how language works during speaking, listening, reading and writing

Summary about Parts of Speech.
Parts of Speech:
There are eight parts of speech:
nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions and interjections
NOUN - A noun is a type of word that represents a person, thing, or place.
Example: father, apple, or valley.
VERB - A verb is a type of word that describes an action or a state of being.
Example: wiggle, walk, run, jump, be, do, have, or think.
PRONOUN - A pronoun is a substitute for a noun.
Some pronouns are: I, me, she, hers, he, him, it, you, they, them, etc.
ADJECTIVE - An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. An adjective usually precedes the noun or the pronoun which it modifies. Example: big, cold, blue, and silly.
ADVERB - An adverb is a word that tells "how," "when," "where," or "how much".
Example: easily, warmly, quickly, mainly, freely, often, and unfortunately.
PREPOSITION - A preposition is a word that shows the spatial (space), temporal (time), or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence.
Example: above, near, at, by, after, with and from are prepositions.
CONJUNCTION - A conjunction is a word that joins other words, phrases, clauses or sentences.
Example: and, as, because, but, or, since, so, until, and while.
INTERJECTION - An interjection is a word that expresses emotion. An interjection often starts a sentence but it can be contained within a sentence or can stand alone.
Example: oh, wow, ugh, hurray, eh, and ah.

Why is grammar important for an EFL teacher?
Grammar is one of the most important braches of the linguistics.
An EFL teacher isn't a native speaker, so he needs to learn very well grammar and then teach it to his student the correct structure of the english language.

Comment about tic-tac-toe games
Tic-Tac-Toe games are a very interesting way for teachers, teach english their students.
The students are playing and, in the same time they are learning.
I think that is OK to teach grammar in games, it's a very good way to teach grammar, because the Students love the games, and they would enjoy a lot.
Another way to teach conditionals could be in puzzles or games with clues, it could be more attractive than a common class.
