However, I found that even after studying rules, students still had trouble using the grammar. This left me wondering: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI learned English as a child without grammar rules. Are rules the best way to study grammar?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRules are complex, and don't always hold true.

You do it because it's the rule, nothing more. With a traditional rule-based approach, students are left with a collection of points--there is so much to remember, and they often feel overwhelmed when they try to communicate in real-life situations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Grammar Without Rules Approach\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe approach taken in \u003ci\u003eGrammar Without Rules \u003c\/i\u003eis centered on familiarity and understanding. It shows you how to help students become familiar with common phrases and patterns of English, and how to help them understand in a connected way: through images and simple explanations that apply any time people use the grammar.
