Abstract
The author discusses the disadvantages of traditional grammar teaching from a didactic and learning perspective. Traditional grammar teaching is typically based on a theoretical introduction by means of system-orientated grammars, followed by product-orientated training. Due to the disadvantages of traditional grammar teaching, the author suggests replacing system-orientated grammars with holistic grammars and product-orientated training with comprehension-orientated training. A holistic grammar integrates systemic and pragmatic linguistic description with a view to making grammar relevant and interesting to the learner, while comprehension-oriented training moves focus away from production and on to comprehension for the purpose of promoting learning.

Vil de fleste nok give mig ret i, en temmelig frustrerende oplevelse, især fordi allerede gennemgået stof så igen må forklares og trænes
Den systemorienterede grammatik har imidlertid den fordel, at den i forbindelse med konkrete beskrivelser af grammatiske fænomener har lettere ved at opstille formalsproglige kategorier, som er relativt faste og indiskutable
Summary
The author discusses the disadvantages of traditional grammar teaching from a didactic and learning perspective. Den systemorienterede grammatik har imidlertid den fordel, at den i forbindelse med konkrete beskrivelser af grammatiske fænomener har lettere ved at opstille formalsproglige kategorier (ordklasser og funktioner), som er relativt faste og indiskutable. I den holistiske grammatik suppleres den systemorienterede tilgang med en pragmatisk-funktionel tilgang, der bevæger sig ud over sætningsniveauet og inddrager sproget i kommunikative situationer.
