THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATING GRAMMAR AND WRITING SKILLS IN IMPROVING GRAMMATICAL FLUENCY OF ESL LEARNERS
Abstract
This study explores the significance of integrating grammar and writing skills in enhancing grammatical fluency among ESL learners. In contemporary language teaching, separating grammatical knowledge from practical language use often limits learners’ ability to communicate effectively. Therefore, an integrated approach that combines grammar instruction with writing practice is considered more effective in developing both accuracy and fluency. The study emphasizes that through continuous written production, learners internalize grammatical structures and apply them in meaningful contexts. As a result, this integration not only strengthens linguistic competence but also fosters independent language use and critical thinking skills.
