1. GRAMMARING

2. WHAT IS GRAMMAR? Grammar was considered a method of language teaching and learning within the so-called Grammar-Translation Approach. Within this approach, which draws from philology, grammar was viewed as the core of language. However, with the shift from philology to linguistics, the notion of grammar has changed accordingly. With the eruption of modern linguistics, grammar began to be described as a system of structures in addition to vocabulary and pronunciation.

3. WHAT IS THE CONCEPT OF GRAMMARING? The process by which a learner acquires the ability to use grammar structures accurately, meaningfully, and appropriately. The term “grammaring” was coined by applied linguist Diane Larsen-Freeman to convey the dynamic nature of the grammar learning process.

4. IMPORTANCE OF GRAMMARING messages through grammaticalizing or adding grammar to a sequence of words to create finer meaning distinctions. The linguist Diane Larsen-Freeman proposes grammaring as an important process in second/ foreign language learning . Grammaring emphasizes grammar as a dynamic process rather than a system of rules.

5. GRAMMARING FROM LARSEN-FREEMAN Larsen-Freeman says “grammaring” can be seen as a “fifth skill.” HOWEVER, Grammar and vocabulary are not language skills. They are language components which are essential to the mastery of all the four skills. You cannot use any language skill without using grammar and vocabulary. Grammar is not an end in itself but it is a means to an end—to improve learners’ proficiency in the four language skills.
