Despite the importance of the grammar instruction in any language, I believe that grammar should not be included in second language classes for beginners who just start to learn a language. The beginners should learn how to understand the language first. The grammar instruction will be not useful for the students unless they understand the meaning.

As a result, the second language should not be taught that way using grammar roles just. This way is boring for the teachers, and the students are bored, too. So the goal for the learners is not how to know the grammar roles, but it is how to use those roles with the language that you already have. In all the language, there are descriptive and receptive skills. The descriptive skills are speaking and writing. The receptive skills are listening and reading. Grammar is not one of those skills, but it is inserted into the both the receptive and descriptive skills. To be more specific, the grammar must be integrated into other skills such as listening or into the environment …show more content…
Articles, word form, and tenses are the major problems for the second language learners in my country. In my point of view, acquiring the language from its environment will solve these
