CONCLUSION TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE

The answers we received from the questionnaire reveal that the teachers are interested in teaching conditional sentences communicatively in class. They are aware of the importance of integrating language skills in grammar teaching especially when they teach conditional sentences. Actually, the questionnaire helps us discover the teachers’ and the students’ problems concerning the teaching and learning of conditional sentences. Some students do not like grammar so much for various reasons. The topics used by the teachers are sometimes uninteresting and students lack the opportunity to communicate during grammar classes. Some teachers claim that it is not easy to find interesting topics and realistic situations to teach conditional sentences. Despite this fact, most of the teachers realize the importance of

communicative grammar. We are glad to learn from the 13^th question that all the teachers
agree with the usefulness of integrating language skills in the teaching of conditional sentences.
In a word, these data collected from the questionnaire survey provide us with information about the teaching of conditional sentences in “première” and “terminale” classes and about the teachers’ interest in applying communicative grammar for the improvement of the teaching of conditional sentences. However, they are not enough to serve as a way of discovering what exactly happens in the classroom concerning the teaching of conditional sentences in these levels. As such, we have to carry out some classroom observations which complement with the results of the questionnaire survey.
