ABSTRACT
English grammar is often perceived as one of the more challenging and less
enjoyable aspects of learning a new language. Traditional approaches, which may rely
heavily on rote memorization and drills, can lead to disengagement and frustration
among students. However, with the integration of modern teaching methods,
technology, and creative activities, educators can make English grammar enjoyable
and engaging. This article explores several strategies for teaching English grammar in
a way that captures students’ attention, fosters active learning, and promotes a deeper
understanding of the language. Emphasis is placed on interactive activities, the use of
technology, gamification, and real-world applications. The article also highlights the
importance of creating a positive classroom environment and cultivating intrinsic
motivation for students.
