AIM of Teaching Grammar - is developing learner’ grammatical competence. Grammatical competence may be defined as knowledge of, and ability to use, the grammatical resources of a language. (CEFR p. 112)
Grammar is the total mechanism which a language possesses and through which its users are able to communicate with each other. Grammar refers to the formal analysis and description of the rules of the language. This is known as ‘Descriptive grammar’. Grammar also refers to the rules for the correct use of a language which may be prescribed for its users.
