Abstract

Bangladeshi students study English grammar as a compulsory subject from primary to tertiary level of education. Students are taught fixed grammatical rules in different education levels as mentioned in the syllabus. The intention of this paper is to show the status of teaching English grammar in Bangladesh and thereby to discover whether there is any effect of communicative method in teaching English grammar in the mentioned context. The main observations from this study are: Teachers use the grammar translation method in teaching and rarely have exposure to communicative approach. New teaching methods are rarely introduced. Grammatical rules are taught deductively, through direct demonstration in the classroom. Lack of contextual interpretation of grammatical rules is common. Students memorize the exam oriented rules of English grammar. No interesting communicative practices are done. Moreover awareness regarding teaching and learning English grammar in an effective communicative method is not visible.
