%0 Journal Article %T THE ROLE OF THE GRAMAMAR TEACHING: FROM COMMUNCATIVE APPROACHES TO THE COMMON EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK OF REFERENCE FOR LANGUAGES %A Jos¨¦ L¨®pez Rama %A Gloria Luque Agull¨® %J Revista de Ling¨¹¨ªstica y Lenguas Aplicadas %D 2012 %I Universitat Polit¨¨cnica deVal¨¨ncia %R 10.4995/rlyla.2012.1134 %X In the history of language teaching, the role of grammar has been addressed by a number of linguistic theories, pedagogies and, currently, within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF). The way grammar is considered has a decisive influence on pedagogical practices, learning processes and many other areas involved in language teaching. This paper constitutes a revision of how grammar has evolved in the last fifty years paying special attention to its evolving role in both communicative (CLT) and post-communicative approaches and in the CEF.From this revision, some controversial issues concerning the pedagogic value of teaching grammar will arise as well, such as whether grammar is worth teaching in the classroom or not and how it should be taught.Even though there exists a parallel linguistic framework between CLT and the CEF, some issues still need revision concerning the notion of grammatical competence and its role for language teaching. Hist¨®ricamente, el papel de la gram¨¢tica en la ense anza de lenguas se ha justificado y cuestionado tanto por teor¨ªas ling¨¹¨ªsticas como, actualmente, dentro del Marco Com¨²n Europeo de Referencia. La forma de contemplar la gram¨¢tica influye de modo fundamental en la metodolog¨ªa docente, en la elaboraci¨®n de manuales de texto y en los procesos de aprendizaje, entre otros. Este art¨ªculo revisa el papel de la gram¨¢tica en los ¨²ltimos cincuenta a os prestando especial atenci¨®n al m¨¦todo comunicativo, los post-comunicativos y dentro del Marco Com¨²n Europeo de Referencia. En respuesta, se revisa la posible controversia sobre la propia definici¨®n de gram¨¢tica y su valor en ense anza de lenguas extranjeras. %K Grammar teaching %K grammatical competence %K CLT (communicative language teaching) %K CEF %U https://ojs.upv.es/index.php/rdlyla/article/view/1134
