Since grammar instruction supports the foundational aspects of young
learners' linguistic development, many linguists value its importance. The manner of
teaching grammar also stirs up a variety of beliefs. It causes confusion on how to teach
grammar to young students. Thus, the purpose of this paragraph is to further explore
the methods used to teach grammar to young students. It was discovered that the
teachers tended to clearly teach grammar after conducting in-depth interviews with the
teachers who were observed in the sixth-grade English lessons. It occurred because
they saw early on the importance of mastering grammar. Additionally, they believe the
students to be mature enough to understand grammatical rules because their reasoning
is superior to that of their junior peers.
