This article analyzes two new grammar teaching methods (action-based grammar teaching and languaging) in Finland. A theory-based content analysis is used for seven articles written in 2009–2012. Using a taxonomy table, the two methods are analyzed by comparing their teaching objectives and learning activities with the learning theories that these methods are based on. Additionally, the teaching methods are investigated for curricular alignment and meaningful learning. Languaging as a grammar teaching method appears to be internally coherent and aligned, unlike functional grammar teaching, in which a foundation built on a constructivist learning theory and drama pedagogics is misaligned with activities that concentrate on memorizing metalinguistic concepts with no requirements for other dimensions of knowledge. Moreover, I will reflect on the lack of an up-to-date definition for a teaching method, and attempt to create one. I see teaching method as a teacher’s tool. My definition can be seen as a pyramid with learning theories and conceptions of learning forming the bottom, planning of teaching being the next level, learning activities for students forming the third level, and assessment being on top of the pyramid.

You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone.
Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam. The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive.
Ultimately, this is a placeholder solution so that more time can be spent on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers (EG: via how they do font rendering) so that the challenge proof of work page doesn't need to be presented to users that are much more likely to be legitimate.
Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or other such plugins for this domain.
