GRAMMAR ACQUISITION IN BOSNIAN EFL CLASSROOMS
GRAMMAR ACQUISITION IN BOSNIAN EFL CLASSROOMS

Summary/Abstract: The role and importance of grammar teaching in foreign language classrooms has been much discussed in second language acquisition (SLA) theories and research. While SLA researchers have been debating in which form grammar teaching − nowadays often referred to as form-focused instruction (FFI) − can contribute most to language acquisition, explicit grammar teaching and learning seem never to have completely disappeared from language classrooms. The present study sets out to investigate the way in which grammar is acquired in public and private elementary and high schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although English as a foreign language (EFL) is widely present in the classroom context in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it has not been largely investigated, especially in terms of teachers’ and students’ perceptions. Hence, the present study brings interesting findings through the analysis of teachers’ and students’ perceptions about grammar instruction in Bosnian EFL classrooms.
