4. Grammar and Oral
Language Development (GOLD)
encompasses the idea that
students should be taught skills
in speaking and grammar based
on the reading selection as a
springboard.
5. The teaching of grammar
skills is not a separate lesson
by itself but is a lesson that is
built on the reading selection.
6. It should be accentuated, then
that the grammar lesson is not
“ladderized” but is a product of
what dominant skill to be
developed and what is present in
the selection being undertaken.

8. Grammar is essential to
everyone. Be it the native or
the target language, a learner
still involves himself or herself
with grammatical structures.
9. Celce -Murcia
and
Larsen-Freeman
(1999 )
define grammar as a way that
accounts for both the structure of the
target language and its communicative
use.
10. Three dimensions which view
grammar not only a collection of
forms but also as a communicative
end .These dimensions are referred
by linguists as (morpho)
syntax, semantics and pragmatics.
11. Grammatical structures not only have
a morphosyntactic form. They are
also used to express meaning
(semantics) in context-appropriate use
(pragmatics). These are referred to as
form,meaning, and use.
