Study on Senior High Students’ Perceptions of English Grammar Learning and Pedagogic Implications -----Within the Domain of English Key Competences

This study aims to explore senior high students’ perceptions of grammar learning. The results are as follows: Students have positive attitudes and clear aims towards English grammar learning; they rely more on teachers’ lecturing in class than autonomous learning like text-based study and lack in the integrated study of extensive materials and online study; they require contextbased, systematic lecturing and interesting ways of grammar practice. Therefore, senior high school teachers need to implement the idea of key competences and take guided discovery method in teaching. They also need to present grammar items in rich and real contexts, reinforce the systematicity, relevance and fun of grammar teaching, and cultivate student’s ability in solving problems independently.
