Teaching Grammar Explicitly And Its Effects On Learners’ Achievement In Learning English As A Foreign Language

Abstract

The following paper is an attempt to examine the way grammar is taught at
the department of English، University of Batna and the benefits students could
make from it when explicitly presented to them. We have started by a theoretical
part where grammar is presented in relation to the different teaching methods،
then we tried to distinguish between explicit and implicit grammar teaching. In
the second part of the paper، we tried to carry out a field investigation where we
administered questionnaires to both students and teachers to know about their
preferences as far as grammar teaching is concerned. The results we obtained by
the end revealed the necessity of teaching grammar explicitly in the language
classroom for the great help it could have to learners as far as learning the foreign
language is concerned.
