Figure 10: Graph representing the activities during the production stage of a lesson on conditionals

If we cast a glance at this graph, the first thing we notice is the high percentage of the teachers who ask their students to write conditional sentences of their own without giving a topic. This kind of activity is not enough to reach the objective of grammar teaching which was agreed by many teachers in the second question of this questionnaire (i.e. Students’ ability to use grammatical rules in real life communication). The percentages of the teachers who give communicative activities to their students are low because communicative grammar teaching is not yet promoted in Malagasy lycées. This is the reason why we have chosen the topic of the present study.
