dc.description.abstract | This article presents and discusses views on grammar and its role in formal
language learning amongst Finnish university students. The results are
based on a questionnaire which was distributed to students at the University
of Jyväskylä as part of institutional action research. The background to
the project was a feeling amongst some teachers of increased divergence
between student respectively language teacher understandings of the role of
grammar in language teaching. This concern raised the need to find out how
students view grammar. The knowledge about thoughts on grammar amongst
students would then help teachers to adjust and adept the way grammar is
used in language teaching. The main finding of the questionnaire was that
a majority of the students think of grammar as a valuable asset in language
learning, but at the same time have somewhat different understandings of
grammar. In this context grammar is understood as a metalinguistic set of
(also normative) statements of regularities in language which is the way most
students think of grammar. Three different student perspectives on grammar
are distinguished. These include a normative, functional and structural
perspective. Since all answers in the questionnaire couldn’t be placed within
these categories, a fourth category, “other” was also included. | fi |
