Teaching Grammar In Communicative Approach To Senior Middle School Students

The author presents a large number of classroom activities to illuminate how to teach grammar. In addition, an experiment was conducted to test whether Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) can be integrated to grammar teaching to senior middle school students. The pre- and post-test were conducted to both the experimental class and the control class. During the six-week experiment, the control class was taught in traditional Grammar-Translation Method; however, the experimental class was treated with CLT. Results from the study indicate CLT has more advantages than traditional Grammar-Translation Method. Further implications and suggestions for senior middle school teachers will be concluded in this dissertation.
