Though Grammar is central to the teaching of languages most educators are not very comfortable with the teaching of Grammar…There are teachers who focus on grammar as a  set of forms and rules. Such teachers  teach grammar by explaining the forms and rules and then drill students on them.
There are  also language teachers who assume that students will absorb grammar rules as they hear, read, and use the language in communication activities.  
The Communicative Competence model  of teaching Grammar recognizes that overt grammar instruction helps students acquire the language more efficiently, but it incorporates grammar teaching and learning into the larger context of teaching students to use the language.
Research strongly suggests that the most beneficial way of helping students improve their command of grammar in writing is to use students' writing as the basis for discussing grammatical concepts.

Another popular way of teaching grammar is through Jazz Chants  which help reinforce vocabulary and grammar lessons in a fun way.
With the  technological revolution, interactive exercises on the Web  have  become  popular  and it has been found that  students actually seem to enjoy learning grammar.
Recently  I  came across this  message about a MOOC  on Teaching Grammar starting on 25 September 2017. Don’t miss this  golden opportunity…
