This document discusses the importance of using a student-centered approach to teaching grammar. It summarizes research that compared traditional teacher-centered grammar instruction to student-centered activities involving group work and role playing. Test results showed that the student-centered approach was more effective: 47% of students in the traditional group scored 6 or below on a grammar test, while only 29% scored 8 or below in the student-centered group. The document provides examples of student-centered activities and recommends reworking grammar exercises in textbooks to incorporate more communication, critical thinking, and student expression.
