Summary/Abstract: Although foreign language methodology and research in applied linguistics has seen some progress recently, and despite governmental initiatives in the teaching of foreign languages, grammar has always been a problematic part of English language teaching and learning in Albania. The focus of this paperis the area of grammar teaching methodology in order to facilitate English grammar learning by applying Newby’s Cognitive+Communicative Grammar Model in the design of pedagogical grammar activities. On the basis of this model suggestions are put forward on how English language teaching in Albania can be improved by offering the teachers and students of English, material designers and trainers new insights in the field of language/grammar teaching methodology based on the Cognitive+Communicative Model of Grammar and its concrete and practical application to English grammar teaching materials.
