Teaching Grammar Communicatively: Creating Tasks In Context

Authors : Laouedj Amina .

Abstract

Most language teachers break down the teaching of grammar into two parts : giving instructions on the form (often seen as a formula : S+ HAS/HAVE+PAST PARTICIPLE= PRESNT PERFECT), and the function where they learn why and when to use such rules. However, the ultimate goal of teaching grammar is to teach both of these within one real comprehensive world and a meaningful context. Thus, grammar based context will more motivate learners, as they will have more opportunities to use the grammar rules easily according to real situations. In this regard, this article explains why we should teach grammar in context, and how it will be. The scope of this study will be reached through two main research instruments: teachers’ questionnaire and teachers’ interview. Thus, qualitative and quantitative analysis of the collected data revealed that teaching grammar in context helps learners to improve their communication skills through suitable grammatical choices with reference to the context that fit their communicative needs.
