At the end of the course, the students should be able to: distinguish differences between grammar structures, form complex sentences, give examples of their own, and become competent users of the language. Developing the knowledge of grammar will help students become better models of English grammar usage for their pupils and thus prepare them better for possible opportunities of teaching English to their future learners.
