Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Didactics - English - Grammar, Style, Working Technique, grade: 1,5, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to answer the questions, to which English grammar varieties students are exposed to, and to which extent they should be addressed in the classroom. Moreover, it aims to shed light on how useful explicit grammar teaching is, compared to implicit methods. The present paper rests on the hypothesis that non-standard English grammar should be part of grammar teaching in EFL (English as a Foreign Language)classrooms as they are beneficial for students' language comprehension. Furthermore, explicit grammar instructions may only be useful for mastering specific target structures; however, languages and their underlying grammar systems may only be acquired implicitly, not by learning grammar rules.
