English Learners' Attitude of Grammar Learning and Grammatical Terminology

Even in the period of emphasizing fluency of English in the Seventh School Curriculum of Korea, teachers of English, recognizing that they are in the EFL setting, are now beginning to pay more attention to the accuracy in learning English. There is also general agreement that focus on form plays a key role in the acquisition of the target structure. Middle school students are having difficulty studying grammar. It is assumed that students are exposed to many kinds of metalanguage explaining grammatical structures even before students formally learn the grammatical terminology of their first language. Few studies have investigated how students perceive grammar learning and grammatical terminology. The questionnaire from the students and the teachers of four different schoolswereadministeredtoexamine: 1) both students' and English teachers' views on grammar instructions; any differences between students' and teachers' perceptions about grammar instructions; any correlations between the knowledge of grammatical terms and the general English attainments. The findings showed that EFL teachers need to be more systematic in the way they approach these different views on the use of grammatical terms between students and teachers. For this, English teachers and their students should interact each other to evaluate the process of students' learning grammar. In addition, English teachers should develop a more systematic way of presenting appropriate words in explaining grammar.
