THE METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING GRAMMAR BASED ON COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
Abstract
This article explores the methodology of teaching grammar based on the communicative approach, which prioritizes communication and real-world use of language over traditional rule-based instruction. Unlike conventional methods that focus on memorization and isolated drills, the communicative approach integrates grammar into meaningful, context-driven tasks such as role-plays, debates, and problem-solving activities. The article examines how this approach enhances both fluency and accuracy by providing students with opportunities to apply grammatical structures in authentic communication situations. Key principles, including task-based learning, inductive teaching, and focus on form, are discussed, highlighting their effectiveness in helping students internalize grammar. Furthermore, the article presents the benefits of using authentic materials and interactive methods, showing that students are more engaged and motivated when grammar is taught in context. Ultimately, the communicative approach fosters a deeper understanding of grammar, improving students' overall language proficiency and preparing them for real-world language use.
