Teaching grammar to a grammar-free generation

EFL teaching is an interesting and at the same time very responsible issue. As teachers we not only have to perform in front of our learners but also have to deal with a huge number of various responsibilities, selection of material and application of appropriate methodology being in the front line. During the last few years I have often heard from my students, and not only from them, that their main target in learning English is just communication, either personal or formal. While considering communication to be a detached function of language learning, many students refuse to learn its grammar, claiming it to be useless and boring.
