Abstract
Although grammar instruction has been de-emphasized in some
communicative language teaching (CLT) classes, the need for
teaching that skill is taken into account in the teaching of both
ESL and EFL. This notion suggests that the issue be not whether
grammar should be taught, but the issue be how to teach this skill
so as to help learners gain comprehensive linguistic competence
(Farrell, 2006). For this reason, one ofthe attempts to help learners minimize grammatical mistakes is the use of a consciousnessraising (C-R) approach to teaching English grammar, particularly
for beginning EFL students
Keywords: Consciousness-raising, English grammar, EFL
