PRIORITIES FOR STRENGTHENING GRAMMATICAL KNOWLEDGE IN LEARNING ENGLISH
Abstract
Over the past 20 years and more, a great deal of interest has been paid to grammar teaching in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) and ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. Much of the research has been into which methods and approaches offer the learners the greatest opportunities to learn the target language. However, according to Motha, pinions on the right approach to learning a language differ as widely as the languages themselves” (Motha, 2013: 3). This helps to describe the discussion that this work covers. The aim of this work is to examine the areas of explicit versus implicit teaching and deductive and inductive teaching, with a focus on teaching grammar in EFL classes.
