Conclusion
Based on the critics' notice made about many Asian EFL contexts stating that
language instruction focused so intently on grammar and translation, it is felt that
NNS teachers should adopt more communicative models. Equipping learners with
392
communicative tasks and activities that could help them confront real life situations
should be the ultimate goal of teaching any second/foreign language. As a result of
focusing on grammar, it was expected that learners would have mastered accurate use
of language. However, it is observed that because learners pay too much attention to
grammar in their attempt to communicate orally, they commit many errors in
grammar and pronunciation and could not speak fluently and confidently. In teaching
spoken language, more importance should be given to developing fluency and
teachers have to realize that even when producing ungrammatical sentence with some
words pronounced incorrectly, the listener is still able to get the message. It could be
claimed that in many cases fluency leads to accuracy works more effectively in
teaching spoken language. Finally, NNS teachers of English should have adequate
exposure to contemporary changes in the language. Teachers have to update their
knowledge by continuous reading and being in touch with the recent developments in
language and in the profession. The aim should exceed being a teacher to teacher as
researcher.
