Notes to the history of teaching foreign languages: the teaching of grammar

Through the history of the methodology of foreign languages, there have been a variety of methods to facilitate, improve and solve the educational problems that were indissolubly arising in the educational process. In every method or methodological approach, grammar occupies a certain role: central, peripheral, focused on the process, on the form, on the communication ... In some methods the grammar is totally deductive, in others inductive, or mixed. The present work tries to gather the evolution and pedagogic reflection on the different theories and methods to teach grammar to non native pupils.
