Comparison Between Communicative Grammar Teaching ..

Ⅰ The shortcoming and limitation of the traditional teaching grammar
The traditional teaching grammar method is to teach students grammar rule after rule. The students/learners have to remember the dull rules in mind, but they can’t use them freely. When they are speaking a foreign language, they have to stop from time to time to think of the sentence structure and the grammar rules in order to express themselves correctly, but in the course of practical communicating with one another, perhaps it is unimaginable to stop for a moment to have some time to think about something and then speak continuously. What they should do is trying to speak fluently and make the language receiver understand them. In the traditional teaching of the grammar, the center of the process is the teacher, and the teacher controls every student’s/learner’s action as possible as she/he can. The students/learners are the passive receivers, because they can’t think, speak freely. What they have to do is to remember the rules the teacher taught them. That is, this process is a passive one of learning.
