Enhancement of

grammar and oral skills

in our learners has been

inevitable in English

lessons.

Grammar and Oral

Language Development (GOLD)

encompasses the idea that

students should be taught skills

in speaking and grammar based

on the reading selection as a

springboard.

The teaching of grammar

skills is not a separate lesson

by itself but is a lesson that is

built on the reading selection.

It should be accentuated, then

that the grammar lesson is not

“ladderized” but is a product of

what dominant skill to be

developed and what is present in

the selection being undertaken.

Grammar is essential to

everyone. Be it the native or

the target language, a learner

still involves himself or herself

with grammatical structures.

Celce -Murcia and

Larsen-Freeman(1999 )

define grammar as a way that

accounts for both the structure of the

target language and its communicative

use.

Three dimensions which view

grammar not only a collection of

forms but also as a communicative

end .These dimensions are referred

by linguists as (morpho)

syntax, semantics and pragmatics.

Grammatical structures not only have

a morphosyntactic form. They are

also used to express meaning

(semantics) in context-appropriate use

(pragmatics). These are referred to as

form,meaning, and use.
