Despite the fact that teaching grammar is controversial in modern trends to methodology, grammar knowledge and its function is of great significance for all language skills. With the view that formal instruction is important for raising learners’ consciousness of grammatical structures, this quasi experimental study is an attempt to investigate the impact of teaching grammar through indirect consciousness raising tasks on learners' grammatical knowledge versus conventional grammar approaches such as target grammar explanation through native language and pattern practice. To this end, sixty six male intermediate-level (determined through Nelson Language Proficiency test) students of four intact classes, two second-grade and two third-grade classes, at a public high school in Dashtestan, Bushehr, Iran, participated in the study. Two classes formed two experimental groups performing grammar consciousness raising tasks, and the other two classes formed two control groups receiving grammar lessons identical in content to the consciousness-raising tasks through traditional approaches.
