초록
The present study aimed at finding out whether English programs should offer English grammar classes to university students to develop their English language skills. Two groups of students majoring in different areas were administered a survey, which asks about their attitudes and perceptions towards grammar instruction, using a self-rated five-point Likert type scale. To compare the differences between the freshman and sophomore groups a Pearson' Chi-square test and a t-test were utilized. The results of the data analysis indicated that both groups wanted to take English grammar classes to attain proficiency and accuracy in language production. It seemed that they felt that a grammar base is a solid place from which to build knowledge of English. However, the findings revealed that the sophomores were not satisfied with the English grammar class they took last year, which means it should be improved for optimal language learning. To meet students’ expectation, it is necessary that English teachers should present efficient approaches to teaching grammar within improved methodological frameworks.
