Abstract :
This thesis reports the portrait of teaching English grammar in elementary schools in Gresik. This study was conducted to explain the ways used by the teachers in implementing grammar teaching to young learners, the problems arisen in the process of teaching grammar, and the solutions to solve the problems that encountered. Teaching grammar to young learners requires an extensive knowledge of a great number of issues. Most of the teachers attempt to present grammar to young learners, they have to face several dificulties. As it is usually not possible to avoid explaining the theory of grammar, it is a challenging task to find such ways which enable young learners to internalize the new pieces of informations and encourage them to use the new skills and knowledge in practice. The study employed a descriptive qualitative research. The participants of this study were three English teachers from three elementary schools based on the criterias of the subjects. The data were obtained from several sources including class observation and depth interview. The findings reveal that most of the teachers used different ways to implement English grammar for young learners. In relation to the way used in teaching grammar to young learners, the teachers used various strategies: teaching English grammar from rules (deductive approach) and teaching English grammar from examples (inductive approach). Inductive approach was the strategy mostly used by the teachers. Based on the research findings, it is recommended that the teachers of young learners should know the background understanding or knowledge before teaching English grammar. Besides, they also should vary the teaching methods in order to make teaching and learning English grammar process more interesting and effective.
