Importance of Grammar Teaching in Middle School English Teaching

I. Introduction

In the process of foreign language teaching in middle school at home and abroad, the grammar teaching has played an important role. Actually, the process of foreign language teaching is the same as the process of grammar teaching. With the emergence of some new language teaching theories, the status and role of grammar teaching have been questioned since the middle of the 20th century. And grammar teaching is still the focus of controversy. This controversy is particularly obvious after the introduction of the new curriculum standards. And this circumstance causes disorder in the English teaching.

In China, due to the misunderstandings of grammar teaching, some teachers dare not openly get involved in grammar teaching. They don’t recognize the importance of grammar in middle school English teaching. This has negatively impacted English teaching in middle schools. Therefore, it is important for teachers to infiltrate grammar in teaching. Students are proficient in mastering basic grammar knowledge, which is a basic prerequisite for improving students’ test scores and learning ability. Teachers should be more concerned about the flexible teaching techniques. The literal teaching can’t be the effective method. It is important to cultivate students’ self-observation and analysis through the guidance of teachers. In fact, grammar only penetrates into every aspect of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Only in this way can students master the basic knowledge of grammar in order to truly achieve the effect of infiltration.

Grammar teaching is the basic but guiding part of English teaching. According to the previous research, there has been many studies about the importance of English grammar teaching in middle schools. However, it is a pity that they are not systematically. Therefore, this article takes English teaching in middle school as an entry point, consults a large amount of data, analyzes the current situation problems of English grammar teaching, and then summarizes the penetrating methods of grammar in middle school English teaching.
