8. Grammar as a means to self-sufficiency The ability to self-correct leads to self-sufficiency. Regardless of their proficiency level or goals, almost all students can benefit from learning English grammar. Grammar instruction assists English learners in becoming aware of a structure and then continuing to notice it in subsequent encounters Students are often required to write notes, e-mail messages, and reports, so they need to be able to communicate accurately in writing. If students haven’t learned how to monitor themselves, they could have problems with such tasks.
9. Approaches to Teaching Grammar Focus on analyzing the language Focus on using the language Students learn about the grammar, sounds, and vocabulary of the language Students may seldom or never be required to use it in meaningful communication Some programs approach language teaching from a grammar-oriented perspective while others favor a more communicative approach
17. Grammar to teach Grammar communicates a purpose that our learners truly need OR It is worth spending class time on a particular item. The grammar we choose to include in English courses for adult immigrants should closely match the functions that our students need in their daily lives.
18. The problem with this knowledge-transmission approach to grammar is that for most students it leads to limited language acquisition. We should try to take off these boundaries to make the understanding easier for students.
