Students’ feedback shows that the need for grammar in
their academic progress at the university relies on the link
they find between grammar and other related subjects
namely writing reading and translation. So the
communicative issue is not a direct need but a peripheral
issue that they don’t deem important. However, the
objective we need to achieve is to make our students able to
monitor their competency-based skills. Fluency and
accuracy, we believe, are two ingredients that make up a
practical and more integrated learner of the language.
Accordingly, the present paper aims to underline the
difficulty and find out the plausible solution for a practical
use of the language in different social and interpersonal
interactions.
A major implication of the findings above is that students
care about grammar as an academic subject and not as a
powerful tool to implement their language use. Students are
also expected to be the passive recipients of a rigid content
where their involvement does not change anything in the
teaching-learning enterprise. Being rule based, grammar is
given a status to be a restricted domain of work or analysis
