The primary focus of the teachers is on learning of grammatical structures, rules
rather than the usage. Any integration of skills was hardly observed. It is a
contradiction to Ellis (as cited in Mohammad, 2006) that in order to achieve
communicative competence, grammar and communication should have to be
integrated. Teachers think in accordance with Thornbury (1999 p.16 as cited in
Neupane) who suggested that learning English without learning grammar is “at the risk of fossilizing sooner than those who receive. This view shows an association
with Ellis (1997 as cited in Sysoyev1999) that form based approach enables the
person to speak accurate grammatical sentences.
