| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this study was to investigate whether CLT principles were implemented to teach grammar. To assess the factors that hold back the practical application of this approach was also the primary target of the study. Questionnaire, interview, classroom observation, tests and document analysis were used to gather the necessary data. Two types of questionnaire and interviews containing somewhat related concepts and equal number of items were designed and delivered to both the teachers and the students. On the other hand, three grammar classes with different teachers were observed to validate the data obtained through the aforementioned tools. Two grammar tests were given only to the students for further exploration of English grammar teaching circumstances. Both tests constituted 10 items; however, they are different in that one is rule/structure oriented and the other is context/situation oriented. The current grade 9 English Textbook was analyzed for its suitability to run successful grammar teaching which was supposed to be the other source of data. Eventually, the study found that communicative grammar teaching is not being successfully implemented on account of some gaps. The overall findings include: the students’ lack of opportunities to practice language items in meaningful situations, the teachers’ reluctance to employ various techniques of teaching and using different tasks as well as adapting the textbook based on the students’ background knowledge. Besides, the inadequacy of the textbook (both in content and distribution), the students’ poor exposure, shortage of class time and the unmanageable class sizes are identified as the major hindrances. Finally, hoping that the study initiates others for further inquiry, some recommendations were made to settle the existing gaps. | en_US |
