GRAMMATICAL COMPETENCE AS ONE OF THE MAIN TYPES OF COMPETENCE IN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Abstract

This study delves into the intricacies of grammatical competence in language learning, emphasizing its pivotal role in fostering effective communication and overall language proficiency. Through an in-depth analysis of research findings, key factors influencing grammatical development, and a comparative examination of teaching strategies, the study provides valuable insights into effective language instruction practices. It highlights the significance of tailored instructional approaches, including explicit grammar instruction complemented by meaningful practice and feedback, in promoting grammatical proficiency among learners. Furthermore, the study explores the impact of contextual factors such as exposure to authentic language input, cultural immersion, and peer interactions on the development of grammatical competence. It also underscores the importance of integrating grammatical instruction within communicative activities and task-based learning to enhance practical application and active use of grammatical structures. The findings contribute to advancing our understanding of language acquisition processes, guiding future research directions, and informing pedagogical practices to optimize language learning outcomes for diverse learner populations.
