AUTHENTIC USE OF GRAMMAR

Abstract

Abstract. The main task of a foreign language teacher in the past was to teach
grammatical structures without any context. Learners were not taught to communicate
in the language. Such kind of approach to a language teaching caused teachers`
difficulty in making the language classes interesting. Because of this, learners were not
interested in learning a foreign language, namely, grammar. According to my
observations, I can say, even some ESL teachers are confused why to teach grammar
if learners don`t use it in real life .But today, when we say teaching grammar, we
imply effective strategies, motivation, support and stimulation, refraining from
obsolete methods and creating global programs. Authentic use of grammar is the very
approach learners need. Grammar should be integrated into other language skills as
listening, reading, speaking and writing. It encourages the active, purposeful and
communicative use of grammar.
