This paper investigates on teaching English grammar in an EFL setting. English grammar instruction has recently gained more attention than it used to. Moreover, much research on grammar instruction focuses on the choice of forms and the importance of timing of focus on form. With this in mind, this paper first stresses the importance of the word order between Korean and English as the difference of the word order may result in interlanguage. This paper then suggests that grammar instruction should pay much more attention to the role of a verb in a sentence. Another concern is the importance of discourse context in grammar teaching. In terms of the timing of grammar instruction, this paper deals with how students’ developmental readiness is related to the timing of instruction. Moreover, this paper suggests that it is important to go beyond the teachability hypothesis by stressing that learners do not benefit only from developmentally appropriate instruction.
