Grammar teaching in ESL classrooms is often perceived as dull and rule-based. This study explores several innovative approaches to teaching grammar—such as task-based instruction, flipped classroom, gamification, storytelling, and inductive learning—and examines their benefits and challenges. The analysis draws on existing literature and small classroom trials. Results suggest that these methods foster engagement, deepen understanding, and improve practical application of grammar rules. Limitations and recommendations for future research are also discussed.
