 * Reflection on the Article Explicit and Implicit Grammar By Eda Topal**

==I will make a reflection on the article "the effecs of Explicit and Implicit Instruction on Grammar". This article was formed by Niğdeli and Çubukçu in 2011 at a western university in Turkey. the participants are prep students from two intermediate classes of the School of Foreign Languages of that university. One class is teached grammar implicitly, th other one is teached grammar explicitly. they used a multiple choice grammar test and the design is a pre test and post test design. The study starts wit a definition of implicit and explicit grammar teaching. I agree with this definition. As they say, to teach grammar implicitly, you make your students expose to grammar rules inductively. On the other hand, to teach grammar explicitly, you give the rules openly and deductively there is no implicitly. In explicitly grammar teaching, giving the rules comes first and prctice comes then. this order is vice versa in implicitly grammar teaching.== ==In the discussion part, they claims that Implicit learners do not need to be teached grammar explicitly later according to their results. I do not agree this part because I think students should be teached grammar implcitly and explicitly. The two types of grammar teaching should be integrated. In some topics of grammar students need to be teached explicitly, in other topics they can need explicit learning. So, we cannot make such a conclusion.== ==In conclusion, this study is a good research but it is not enough to make such a conclusion. Because grammar teaching differs in some studetns. making a general conclusion is not suitable. I agree with the other sides of the article.==
