7 INGLES Gramatica Inglesa 2
Teaching English Grammar
During this quarter we will continue working on the second part of this subject.
So, first let’s remember the importance of grammar.
From the extract Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 3, No. 1, pp. 124-129, January 2013 by Çağrı Tuğrul Mart, grammar instruction is one of the most difficult issues of language teaching. Context-based grammar holds an important place for effective learning. It will be more motivating for learners if grammar is taught in context as students will have an opportunity to perceive how the new grammar structures work.
Grammar rules are made easier if they are given in a context and teaching grammar in context provides accuracy in the target language.
Grammar is rules of a language. ―Grammar is a system of meaningful structures and patterns that are governed by particular pragmatic constraints‖ (Larsen-Freeman, 2001). In another definition ―grammar is a description of the rulesfor forming sentences, including an account of the meanings that these forms convey‖ (Thornbury, 1999, p.13).
In foreign language acquisition accurate understanding of the language structures is the key part so teaching grammar is an essential aspect of foreign language instruction. There has always been a debate about the most effective way of teaching grammar. Grammar instruction through context positively affects learners‘ competence to use grammatical
structures accurately in language skills. It is always useful for learners to see how language works in sentences or paragraphs; therefore, teaching grammar in context will give learners opportunities to see how grammatical structures function in sentences. Teaching grammar in context will help learners to acquire nature of the language which will facilitate their understanding of the language.
