GRAMMAR IS IMPORTANT TO LEARN ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article discusses the importance of grammar in learning English. Nowadays, language teachers and students are often trying to abandon grammar, and they are calling to learn the language without grammatical rules. As an English teacher myself, I warn that the above situations are wrong and may lead to wrong language acquisition and promotion in the future. Of course, if you master any language based on its grammatical rules, you will be able to communicate intelligibly and qualitatively in that language.
