Grammar Teaching: A Case Study of a Pakistani School in Sultanate of Oman
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
Grammar constitutes an essential element in the learning and teaching of any language. English as a foreign language is being taught in Pakistani government-run schools and in non-elitist private schools. The focal question in this paper centers on the several implications of the teaching process of grammatical concepts. The main aim of this research study is to find out the methods adopted in the teaching of grammar and whether these methods are updated with recent methods recommended in recent research on effective teaching and learning. The content analysis of books and review of teaching methods are used as methodological tools. The results suggest that the grammar teaching methods are outdated, the text material contains misleading explanations, and lack understanding of descriptive linguistic concepts on grammar. The core recommendation is that the grammar teaching methods and text material in question should be reviewed and updated with a more up-to-date material. The significance of the study lies in the fact that it will shade light on the teaching practices of grammar and review updated research on the teaching of grammar, which need consideration in teacher training programs and study material design.
Teaching English Grammar in non-native countries is an arduous task because of a number of factors causing the lack of motivation and concentration of the learner in acquiring the grammar-based inputs of the English language in the classroom. In view of the core issue this paper attempts to critically assess the situations and experiences the English language teachers and the students have to go through in teaching and learning grammar at the university level in Saudi Arabia and seek a solution to the crisis engulfing the potential growth of the English language learners. Of course, the picture presented here is not meant for a generalization in the context of all universities in the EFL or ESL countries. It mainly focuses on the problems typically facing the non-native learners in their efforts to master the grammar skills of the English language. The effectiveness of different approaches to the teaching of English Grammar to the relatively inattentive Saudi students is critically evaluated as well. As a matter of fact, this endeavor on my part can be treated as a study of an English Grammar teacher based on sincere and passionate observations in the English language classrooms in Saudi Arabia.
