Non-traditional grammar methodology in the EFL Classroom

Abstract

The teaching of grammar has always been one of the most complex tasks for TS. This paper presents a research study that has been carried out to analyse and evaluate a methodology of teaching grammar (NTM) based on different activities other than the traditional methods. The project was implemented mostly through games, communicative grammar activities and inductive tasks.The study lasted three weeks. It was accomplished in a 4 th of ESO classroom in a Spanish highschool. The qualitatively collected data was of great help in order to see whether or not the methodology used was successful. The results gathered in this study indicate that STS are interested in improving their grammar skills by continuing learning under the NT methodology.
