Over the last few years, there has been some debate on the role of grammar in the foreign language classroom, as an important tool that must not be forgotten or rejected. That is why a distinction has been made between grammar and grammaticalized learning. The former makes reference to the tendency towards a traditional language learning method that consists in memorizing rules to write correct sentences; thus subjugating the learner to grammar. The latter has to do with a more contemporary approach, based on a different conception of grammar and its learning process, according to the Common European Framework, in which grammar is at the service of the learner. In this way, language teaching methods also change perspective, considering the needs of the learners, and new methodologies are proposed to satisfy different tastes and ways of learning.

Keywords : meaningful grammar; inductive grammar; deductive grammar; ongoing reflection; grammar progression.
