Research on syntactic structures, grammatical form, and language acquisition in English education

The purpose of the present study was to research articles on English syntax, English grammar and language acquisition that have been published in English Language & Literature Teaching for 20 years. In recent years, language professions and researchers have maintained that grammatical competence cannot be easily acquired unconsciously in an EFL environment such as in Korea, and that it can be acquired and developed through focus on form (Doughty & Williams, 1998) by focusing on meaning and communication (Doughty, 1991; Doughty & Williams, 1998; Robinson, 1996, 2001; Skehan, 1998). In this view, this study analyzes the research papers that suggest effective learning and teaching of syntactic rules and grammatical forms in EFL classrooms by classifying into three criteria such as subject of study, theme and method of study. Finally it proposed a desirable direction toward English syntax and grammar learning and teaching in Korea.
