The Importance of Grammar Instruction in EFL Classes
Grammar is the fundamental regulation that governs proper spoken and written language, holding a significant place in language institutions and schools.

Conversely, others contend that grammar rules help learners develop a logical approach to language. Teachers must possess grammar knowledge to provide effective instruction.

How to Assist Students in Developing their Receptive Skills
When learning any language, there are four basic skills you will need to acquire, including reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Reading and listening are known as receptive skills, while speaking and writing are known as productive skills because you will have moved on to producing the language you have learned. Usually, a learner's receptive skills will develop much quicker than their productive skills. This means that when students are learning a new language, they won't be able to actually produce, or speak and write, as much as they will be able to understand through listening and reading.
