Abstract. This study explores the role of grammar instruction in language teaching, drawing on Noam Chomsky and constructivist theories by Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and Jerome Bruner. It highlights the importance of cognitive and social processes in language acquisition. The study reviews various teaching strategies, including inductive and deductive methods, collaborative and inquiry-based learning, and technology-supported techniques. Findings show that grammar should be taught in meaningful contexts rather than through memorization. A student-centered, multi-method approach enhances communicative competence and ensures more effective and lasting learning.
