Attitudes towards Grammar Instruction In an Academic
English Program. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, April 2009, Pages: 88
Variables that may influence foreign language
learning indirectly are: beliefs about foreign
language learning and attitudes, which are
determined by these beliefs as well as certain
personality traits such as extroversion,
introversion, tolerance of ambiguity, inhibition and
risk-taking. The present study of attitudes towards
grammar instruction was conducted in the department
of the Intensive English Programs (IEP) at the
American University of Armenia (AUA). It examines
the reasons for the students’ expressed need for
more grammar in the Intensive English Program
(IEP).
Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect
data from the IEP faculty and the students. Both
quantitative and qualitative research methods were
used to analyze and interpret the data. The
students’ attitudinal survey questionnaire revealed
the reasons for their expressed need for wanting more
grammar instructions. The instructors’ attitudinal
survey questionnaire showed how the instructors
address the grammar issue and how they interpret the
students felt need for more grammar instruction.
