Abstract
This paper explores cross-cultural perspectives on grammar learning, highlighting how cultural differences shape the approach to and understanding of grammatical structures in various languages. The influence of cultural contexts on language acquisition is critical, as it affects learners' attitudes toward grammar instruction, their motivation, and their engagement with grammatical forms. By examining different educational systems, teaching methodologies, and learner experiences across cultures, the paper identifies common challenges and effective strategies for teaching grammar in a multicultural environment. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of culturally responsive pedagogy in grammar instruction, advocating for practices that acknowledge and integrate learners' diverse linguistic backgrounds. This study aims to provide insights for educators seeking to enhance grammar learning in diverse classrooms.
