Authors : Salem Khadroun .

Abstract

This paper deals with the role of grammar in language teaching and the ‎way it should be taught. It investigates an alternative approach of ‎teaching grammar which emphasizes raising learners' awareness to ‎discourse so that they can understand and use the grammatical ‎structures accurately and effectively. It is proposed in this article that ‎grammar is best explained and understood when it is embedded in ‎meaningful context and discourse. ‎

Keywords
