Teaching Grammar

Through the time it has been thought that grammar is just related to structures and that is the way in which it is taught in high schools, but specialists have been researching effective ways to get it better. Personally I think students need to practice every grammar structure orally and not only in the written form using some exercises which help them to produce beyond them.

As I read in The Teaching and Learning in the Language Classroom book "practice can also contribute to explicit knowledge about language forms and begin the process of learners gradually developing the ability to use a rule accurately and automatically in production [1]" ........ That's what I'm in agreement with.
