Abstract

The question of how learners acquire a second language (SLA) also brings another question of how to teach that second language. Several techniques and methods have been used to teach different skills. Grammar teaching is in the centre of the debates in terms of methods of teaching. As well as the teaching methods, time is an important factor during teaching process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of intensive and regular programs (in terms of class hours) of grammar teaching in English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms. 60 students in the same level (pre-intermediate) but from two different groups (30 students for each) are taken into consideration. The same grammar subjects are taught to each group by the same instructor by using the same methods but in different periods. At the end of the study a proficiency test is applied to the students in order to see the results.
