of the field, he will be able to attract the attention and attention of students to the lesson. Using such diagrams helps students visualize and understand the order and arrangement of adjectives in a sentence. It provides a clear and concise representation of the grammatical rule, making it easier for students to grasp the concept. Other effective and fun methods of teaching grammar to intermediate learners include: Learning through writing: Encouraging students to practice grammar through writing activities, such as composing sentences, paragraphs, or short stories. This allows them to apply the grammar rules in a creative and practical manner. Learning through literature: Using literary texts, such as stories, poems, or excerpts from books, to explore and analyze grammar concepts. This approach connects grammar with meaningful and engaging content, making it more enjoyable for students. Inductive method: Presenting students with examples and guiding them to discover the grammar rule or pattern on their own. This approach promotes active learning and encourages students to make connections and understand the underlying principles of grammar. Deductive method: Providing students with explicit grammar rules and explanations before engaging in practice activities. This method is useful for clarifying specific grammar concepts and rules. Interactive method: Incorporating interactive activities, such as grammar games, group discussions, role plays, or online quizzes, to actively engage students in the learning process. These activities make grammar lessons more interactive, enjoyable, and memorable. By employing a variety of techniques, teachers can create a dynamic and engaging learning environment for their intermediate learners. This helps to alleviate the potential boredom associated with learning grammar and ensures that students can grasp the concepts more easily and quickly. Teachers use language in their classes. These are often divided into two types. Receptive skill is a term used for reading and listening, skills where meaning is extracted from the discourse. Productive skill is the term for speaking and writing skills, where students actually have to produce language themselves. There are some skills they don't use in real life. We might also want to question a once commonly-held view that receptive skills are somehow passive, whereas production skills are in some way more active. When we speak or write we'll understand that language activation occurs. Reader uses listening and reading for language activation. We used to understand the texts as we have seen or heard. But in any case, whether we are reading or speaking we often mix what we are doing with other skills, as we shall see below.
CONCLUSION
All in all, grammar plays a crucial role in teaching English and is relevant to every aspect of the language. However, it is true that some students find grammar

boring, difficult, and confusing. This is especially the case with older students who may not pay much attention to learning grammar, which can be a significant shortcoming.
To address these challenges, teachers need to learn how to teach grammar in a fast, easy, effective, and understandable way. They should consider various methods and approaches to make grammar lessons engaging and accessible to students. Teaching grammar requires careful attention from the teacher, who should focus on each rule and constantly monitor students' attitudes towards the topic.
Lessons can be organized based on different teaching styles and approaches to grammar instruction. The teacher's teaching skills are crucial in effectively implementing these methods. The teacher should be the creator, actor, and initiator in the classroom, constantly seeking ways to capture students' attention and make the lessons engaging. Creativity is essential because it allows the teacher to introduce new styles and techniques in every lesson. The teacher should approach each lesson as a journalist, covering the topic thoroughly.
European scholars emphasize the importance of qualified grammar teachers who can effectively utilize modern teaching methods and directions. The teacher should adapt their teaching to the students' age and individual requirements. Teaching grammar to middle school students is not overly difficult, as they already have some basic language skills. However, the teacher's ability to explain complex topics in a simplified manner and provide opportunities for application and consolidation is essential.
Being creative in teaching grammar is important because grammar rules themselves are interesting and unchanging. Intermediate learners often prefer to create something on their own rather than relying solely on the teacher's creativity. Providing students with opportunities to create, such as puzzles, games, and explanations, can enhance their knowledge and make the learning process more enjoyable. By incorporating such activities, teachers can increase the efficiency of students' knowledge.
When students have a solid understanding of grammar, it becomes the root of their language skills. Vocabulary serves as the stem, and the different aspects of language (writing, reading, speaking, listening) become the branches. The smaller elements, like leaves, contribute to the overall language proficiency. By imparting perfect knowledge, style, and approaches in grammar instruction, teachers empower their students to apply these skills in all aspects of language, enabling them to communicate effectively and fluently.

Ultimately, the teacher's role is to facilitate the learning process and guide students towards proficiency by making grammar lessons interesting, accessible, and applicable.
