Name of Author : Muhammad Teguh Irwansyah Putra & Maulina Maulina et.al

Abstract: One of the most recognizable international languages, English, is widely spoken worldwide since a long time ago in all sectors of human life, such as in education. In Indonesia, the English language is studied as an EFL (English as a Foreign Language). English has some essential skills, such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and other language aspects and components. Teaching grammar, for instance, drives teachers’ unique ways in triggering students to use the language communicatively. Somehow, teachers are also required to have tons of strategies in teaching English, especially communicative grammar, since many accents spread around the world as another difficulty in teaching communicative English grammar. The data of this paper are based on reviewing journals and books from the previous studies related to the understanding of communicative grammar, comparison between communicative grammar over traditional grammar, students’ and teachers’ perspectives and roles dealing with communicative grammar, advantages and disadvantages of communicative grammar, and strategies for teachers which could be helpful to teach communicative grammar.
