NAAbstract
As language teachers, it is not easy to teach learners grammar appropriately and meaningfully. Most learners think that learning grammar means that they have to remember the rules of grammar, which is boring for them. Therefore, it is a big challenge for language teachers to teach grammar more effectively to their students. This paper is going to present different views about language, the three dimensions of grammar, and grammaring. These concepts have a deep impact on lesson planning, and we will see what that impact is all about.
