The Role Of Grammar In A Communicative Classroom
Jack Richards
Regional English Language Center, Singapore
 
With the movement towards fluency work and communicative interaction in language teaching teachers have been encouraged to focus less on grammatical accuracy and more on providing opportunities for students to communicate, using whatever level of language they are able to produce. However there are growing concerns among many teachers that students are developing fluency at the expense of accuracy. This presentation surveys the
issues involved and illustrates how accuracy can be incorporated in fluency activities.
