1. Introduction 

In this chapter, the author will introduce the background and the purposes of the research,  and  discuss  the  significance  of  the  research  as  well  which  includes theoretical  and  practical  aspects.  Also,  the  status  quo  of  the  research  and  the organization of the thesis will be provided. 

1.1 Research Background 
With  the  development  of  globalization,  English  has  become  more  and  more important. As one of the three elements of language, grammar plays a significant role in  English.  In  recent  years,  English  curriculum  in  China  has  experienced  a  series  of reforms.  According  to  the  grammar  teaching  requirements  put  forward  by  The Compulsory  Education  Curriculum  Standards  in  English  (2011  Edition),  we  can  see that grammar is becoming more and more vital. What’s more, grammar is essential for learning  English  because  the  ability  of  using  grammar  correctly  is  also  an  important part  of  communicative  ability,  and  it  is  also  a  way  to  achieve  the  purpose  of communication,  which  consists  of  students’  comprehensive  ability  of  using  English. Larsen-Freeman  says  language  is  a  dynamic  process  of  pattern  formation  by  which human use linguistic forms to make meaning in context-appropriate ways1. Following from the definition of language, Larsen-Freeman then argues that grammar is one of the dynamic linguistic processes of pattern formation in language, which can be used by  humans  for  making  meaning  in  context-appropriate  ways  and  she  uses  the  word grammaring to describe the ability to use grammar structures accurately, meaningfully, and  appropriately2.  You  cannot  express  yourself  appropriately  and  meaningfully without  using  correct  English  grammar  structures.  It  facilitates  communication  with others. Communication with others, though, is a primary, but not exclusive, function of  language.  From  her  point  of  view,  we  can  see  that  the  concept  of  grammar  is changing  and  we  can  no  longer  regard  it  as  what  we’ve  always  been  doing.  Thus,  it becomes more challenging for English teachers to teach grammar because they cannot teach  it  in  the  traditional  way.  Mastery  of  grammar  not  only  means  to  remember grammar rules, but also to apply the rules in communication accurately, meaningfully, and appropriately whether in oral or written English.
