Research Abstract |
This study considered theoretically and empirically what to teach explicitly in the area of grammatical and pragmatic knowledge, and how to associate it effectively with communicative activities, in order to organize appropriate curricula for EFL contexts. Several lesson plans about grammar was developed and carried out at several classrooms. The results provided suggestive evidence for the role of communicative activities and balance of target language and first language use in teaching and learning English.
