ABSTRACT: Teaching grammar has been regarded as crucial to the ability
to use language. For this reason, this article introduces a five-step procedure
for teaching grammar. I have developed this procedure, which incorporates
the notions of practice and consciousness-raising, explicit and implicit
knowledge, and deductive and inductive approaches for teaching grammar.
This procedure has been derived from my great interest in innovative
grammar teaching and my teaching experience in grammar. The proposed
steps are expected to be an alternative pathway for English teachers to teach
grammar, particularly teaching tenses and modals at college-university
levels or even in secondary schools.
