PEDAGOGICAL ISSUES IN TEACHING

AND ASSESSING GRAMMAR


Prepared by: CRISTENE GRACE B. ILANO
BSEd-2F
The starting point in teaching grammar as ability is
an understanding of what learners’ communicative
needs are and the role of grammar in relation to
these needs.
When words are not arranged in their appropriate
order, meaning becomes distorted. Without the ability
to construct clear sentences that actually make sense,
students are stuck with low marks because their ideas
cannot be conveyed to the markers and teachers.
Explicit teaching of grammar does not solely lead
to improvement in use of communicative skills; it
needs practice in context of language use.
Repetition of practice with forms is important to
help students retain what they learn. Learning by
using.
Regardless of the issues or challenges mentioned, teachers should make efforts
in providing the best learning experience for the students as the students have
the rights to be taught with the most effective and meaningful teaching method.
Teachers should never stop striving in finding the most suitable ways that will
benefit the students, in spite of facing challenges and difficulties in
implementing the lessons specifically, in teaching and assessing of grammar.
