Conference Paper

This paper aims to show the teachers’ views on the best ways of teaching grammar, the parts of English grammar that are most difficult for the learners to master, as well as the structures that are the easiest to be learned. It presents the situation in Macedonia and in Slovenia, with answers provided by English teachers surveyed online, and with theoretical analysis of the given situations, along with results that aim to give practical implications. Thus, it especially explores the process of teaching English grammar in these two countries from the teachers’ point of view, by collecting the teachers’ perceptions, and by analysing the findings. The results tend to show and, hopefully, prove that English grammar teaching can be interesting, enjoyable and, for teachers, an extremely rewarding process when the students produce grammatically correct sentences and display educated expression. The findings can be applicable to all English teachers who might reflect on their way of teaching, but also provide teacher trainers with guidance on what should be emphasised in the teachers’ professional development process.
