Grammar is important for language learning, but there is a gap between learning English grammar and being able to speak English fluently. Some may argue that we should just forget about grammar and focus mainly on practicing speaking, but what about if we learn strategies to utilize grammar in ways that promote oral fluency? Assuming that both approaches are necessary, the presenter focuses on the latter and provides examples of grammar using strategies to help both learners and teachers to speak English more fluently in a Japanese EFL environment.
