Although Brazilian teachers tend to place too much emphasis on grammar and believe good command of it means good command of the language, are we teachers really studying what matters and doing it the right way? Do we know why things are the way they are? Also, is what we are teaching as absolute truth really true? The aim of this talk is to discuss the importance of studying grammar in a way we teachers (and our students) will benefit from it. Also, I will provide participants with useful tools to help them decide on what, how and how much to study.
