Teaching
of grammar is a much debated topic in language learning. Different expert have
given different opinion about teaching of grammar. According some, the language
cannot be learnt
without studying of
grammar of the
language. Nevertheless, some people say that the students who study
grammar are often able to solve grammar exercise, but do not write correct
speech (Patel and Jain, 2008: 141).
In Indonesia,
traditional grammar can
still be found
in some language classrooms. The
teaching of grammar
tends to use
repetitions and rote
drills. These activities can make the students get bored easily and
uninteresting with the grammar
teaching. This does
not mean that
there is no
place for drills,
but drills should be
used in a
meaningful and purposeful
way (Larsen-Freeman, 1991
in Puspitasari, 2011: 174). Furthermore, teachers have to find any techniques
to keep children to concentrate to the teaching, to make them enjoy the lesson
and to have fun and amusement
