The teaching of grammar and vocabulary is an important process in the course of an educational and epistemological program for effective English language learning. The design of teaching strategies, a method followed by a theory, determination of objectives, curriculum design, curriculum programming, assembly of checklists, selection of materials and lesson planning are marked as the mandatory steps that an English teacher must follow to provide quality learning.

When teaching vocabulary and grammar, the goal is to ensure that the student can develop the four basic skills to learn the language. For this, it is important to choose between the four types of methods, that is, the grammatical translation method, the direct method, the audio-linguistic method, and the of communicative language teaching. The success of teaching grammar and vocabulary and the effectiveness of their use by students depends largely on the method. If the method is not effective, learning will be fatally flawed.

To select the specific material to learn grammar and vocabulary, we must investigate the necessary methods for each case. To teach vocabulary we can use the keyword method, word map, restructuring of reading materials, root analysis, etc.; To teach grammar we can use Grammar Syllabus, Structural Syllabus, Situational Syllabus and Notional-Functional Syllabus.

The commonly used materials are:

textbooks

Workbooks
