The main aim of a foreign language teaching is the development of speaking skills. No speaking is possible without the knowledge of grammar and its mechanism. That’s why grammar is very important in FLT:

1. To understand a foreign language

2. To express oneself correctly, automatically and spontaneously without thinking over grammar rules

3. To be able to read and write in L2

Student's difficulties in learning English grammar

Word order.

In English, word order is more important than in Russian.

Tom gave Helen a rose.

Helen gave Tom a rose.

The meanings of these sentences are different because there is a different word order.

In Russian inflexions are very important.

Том дал Лене розу

Лене дал Том розу

The meanings of these sentences are the same because inflexion “e” in the word Лене indicates the object of the action.

Learners often break the word order so they do a lot of mistakes in expressing their thoughts.

Tense system

The English tense system is difficult for learners because of the difference of tense systems in Russian and English.

I have seen him today.

I saw him yesterday.

For learners the action is completed in both sentences. They do not pay attention to the adverbs today and yesterday in the sentences.

The sequence of tenses

It is difficult for learners because there is nothe sequence of tenses phenomenon in Russian.

She is busy.

She said she was busy.

In the second sentence we change “is” to “was” because of the sequence of tenses.

Modal verbs

The use of modal verbs in different types of sentences is very difficult for the learners. Learners often use them with auxiliary verbs.

May I go home? No, you mustn't.

May I take your pen? Yes, you may.

Must I do it? No, you needn't.

I didn’t must do that.

Article

Articles are absent in Russian. Learners often don’t use them because they think articles are not important. Teaching English grammar must begin with explanation and practice of articles.

This is a pen. The pen is red. This is my pen and that is his pen.

Prepositions

Prepositions in English and Russian don’t often match.

Togetabout - путешествовать (в русском языке предлог отсутствует), togetat – (достать, добраться до)

7. Auxiliary verbs

Auxiliary verbs are absent in Russian. The verbs do and have may be auxiliary and notional at a time.

 

What do you do at your free time?

What have you had for breakfast today?

Verb forms.

There are a lot of verb forms in English that confuse Russian learners

(have - has -had; do –does – did)
