Some Approaches to Grammar Teaching

• Some Approaches to Grammar Teaching
• The ways grammar should best be taught differ from teacher to teacher, researcher to researcher, and methodologist to methodologist. Currently in second language literature, two approaches to grammar teaching that are often discussed are Focus on Form and Focus on Forms. The former refers to an approach to teaching grammar whenever errors occur during a meaning-focused activity, whereas the latter refers to teaching grammar in isolation. Long (1991) specified that Focus on Form “overtly draws students’ attention to language elements as they arise incidentally in lessons whose overriding focus is on meaning or communication” (pp. 45-46). To clarify the point, Long and Robinson (1998) pointed out that “focus on form often consists of an occasional shift of attention to linguistic code features by the teacher and/or one or more students – triggered by perceived problems with comprehension or production”

The applicability of inductive method in teaching grammar.

• The applicability of inductive method in teaching grammar.
• An inductive approach to teaching language starts with examples and asks learners to find rules. It can be compared with a deductive approach that starts by giving learners rules, then examples, then practice.
• Example:
• Learners listen to a conversation that includes examples of the use of the third conditional. The teacher checks that the students understand the meaning of its use through checking learners' comprehension of the listening text, and only after this focuses on the form, using the examples from the text to elicit rules about the form, its use and its pronunciation.

Step one- in this step, the researcher decided to make an observation of the English lesson classes in order to identify the level of the learners and the methods which are used in teaching process of the English language lessons. The researcher observed the lessons during the 3 weeks. Overall, the total numbers of the observed lessons are 10. All collected data and information would be given in data collection.
