Summary

This chapter explores the relationships between grammar and intercultural communicative competence. It discusses what we mean by ‘grammar,’ the nature of L2 grammatical development, and key concepts in teaching L2 grammar. This discussion is followed by a re-evaluation of the native-speaker ideal, morphosyntactic language variation, the local situatedness of grammar, and deploying grammar for creating social meaning. The chapter concludes with practical suggestions for teaching L2/Lx grammar with an intercultural communication orientation, as well as sample language teaching tasks and activities.
