초록
The main aim of this study is to investigate the use of multi-media in the teaching of grammar and the views of learners on the usefulness of video and audio technology in learning grammar. In addition, there is an insightful exploration of how these multi-media based interactive grammar teaching techniques should be used in a traditional grammar class. 65 students were encouraged to use films or animations in order to be familiar with the content of grammar structures learned in the classroom. They were required to present language items through classroom presentations. The study suggests that learners were highly motivated to interact with each other in the communicative grammar teaching classroom by being engaged in various language related issues such as understanding grammatical usage, using useful lexical items, and practicing pronunciation. Furthermore, during role plays, students were actively involved in constructing sentences based on the storyline with the use of their grammatical knowledge. On the basis of the findings from the study, some pedagogical implications with regard to the implementation of communicative grammar techniques in traditional grammar learning situations are discussed.
