Synthesis approach
Pennington(2002)

which can serve as useful guidelines for
teaching grammar. (PP.107-108)

Summary of Unit 7
Perhaps there will never be a solution to the
debate on the value of teaching grammar,
because language teaching and learning
contexts vary so greatly.
It should be noted that learning grammar
itself is not the ultimate goal of learning
English.
The understanding of how to teach grammar
is as controversial as that of the value
of teaching grammar.
We believe that both mechanical practice and
meaningful practice are necessary.
