Last week, my colleague(同事) Mary told me that she had just spent two hours explaining to her students how to use the word “as”. I asked her if her students would be able to use the word correctly in everyday conversations after all of her great effort(努力). Her answer, interestingly, was, “Probably not.”
I began to wonder whether it was necessary to spend so much time teaching grammar rules to students. Indeed, grammar is important. It controls how words are put together in order to form sentences. For years, many teachers have been tirelessly explaining grammar rules to their students before giving them plenty of exercises to do.
In recent years, however, more and more studies have found that, for most language learners, studying grammar rules is not that important. Some researchers even consider it to be a waste of time. This has left some young teachers to wonder: Should I teach grammar to my students?
In my opinion, students should be taught grammar. However, I don’t think grammar should be considered as a separate “skill” or “course”. For the past two years, I have created situations in which my students feel a need to use good grammar in order to communicate properly in English. I leave them to discover the grammar rules on their own. Meanwhile, I encourage them to use English as much as possible outside of the classroom. I believe that, to become good at English, the most important thing is to spend enough time practising speaking it.
I won’t ever spend two hours explaining a grammar rule. It will only make my students fall asleep instead of improving their English.
1. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Teaching grammar is difficult.
B. Teaching grammar is very interesting.
C. Mary is good at teaching grammar.
D. Mary’s students could use “as” correctly.
2. What’s grammar used for?
A. Doing exercises.
B. Forming sentences.
C. Making rules.
D. Explaining reasons.
3. How does the writer teach grammar?
A. By making his students fall asleep.
B. By helping students discover grammar rules.
C. By using English as much as possible.
D. By spending time explaining grammar rules.
