FOCUS ON TEACHING GRAMMAR IN CONTEXT
Abstract. The material presented in this article focuses on teaching grammar as
the recent research recognizes the necessity of studying grammar and notes that
learning is especially effective if grammar categories are included in meaningful
communicative context. The paper is especially useful for secondary school
English teachers as it identifies different options for focusing on grammar and
integrating it into context, offers examples of learning activities for a specific
option. The article also includes the description of the option, its theoretical and
empirical basis and an example that illustrates the ways of its implementation in the
classroom.
The paper highlights the basic principles for teaching grammar, namely E-
Factor and A-Factor. E-Factor means Efficiency and, teaching any grammatical
category, its components – economy, ease and efficacy – should be kept in mind.
A-Factor means Appropriacy and contains a lot of factors, such as learners’ age,
their hobbies and interests, learners’ previous level of knowledge, etc. Teachers
should consider them all to succeed in grammar presentation. The authors offer
multi-vector opportunities for learning grammar to encourage students to learn it
understanding its necessity because mastering grammar is the basis of language
proficiency.
