This document discusses different approaches for teaching grammar in a second language classroom. It provides suggestions across three main topics: 1. Teachers should be patient with student performance and use easy terminology. Tasks should address grammar implicitly through motivated activities. 2. Teachers need to balance accuracy and classroom interaction, building methodology for their specific students. The environment should support interaction and feedback. 3. A communicative approach is recommended over form-function or translation methods. Teachers should plan context-based tasks, introduce simple rules, and bring the real world into the classroom through meaningful activities and opportunities for free interaction.
