SECOND WRITTEN:

The importance of getting involved in grammar

 

Grammar is the backbone of any language and, not having it, any single thing you know could be flux, in a sort of jelly without much consistency. It also provides you with the necessary structure to set or organize and put your ideas, thoughts or “whatsoever” across. It is the “railway” by which any message is transported and then delivered to another. If it were not exist, you wouldn’t be able to convey your ideas because there’s not a way to pass them on. It means, whether you are second language users or not, going in deep really matter.

Now, in regards  the way it is taught, well, there are a lot of things that, might be, are going to turn many people around. Being instructed in grammar in our nowadays is a tough task due to education just has been focused on two main scenarios: the grammar as everything and context as main means. The first one is related to language’s formal structure and some lacks in contextualization of meanings; the other is just the “communicative” approach and how the context is the main means of expressing. So it has meant many people just get involved in the use of one these and fail at the other.  Finally, the results are a mass of misunderstandings and people falling in filatures that has to do with any language learning process.  In fact, there should be a balance in structure, context and language acquisition in order to cause a great and joyful experience in grammar practicing.
