- ABSTRACT Learning grammar is the basic knowledge for students to master the language skills. The students have to understand many rules and patterns which are different from Bahasa. The result of the pre observation done by the researcher when the students were at the 1 st semester of the 1 st grade was most students who learnt English have difficulties in structure when they do not know the rules of language being learnt. At that time, the teacher asked his students to tell their past holiday in written form, the teacher assumed that his students must be able to do that because they just write their experience when they were holiday, unfortunately, most of them just translated word by word from their dictionary without thinking about the rules. It is a miserable condition since according to English curriculum for Senior High School; the students must have been able to make functional text such as narrative, recount and procedure. The researcher would like to propose Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) as a technique in teaching grammar. By implementing the seven components of CTL the researcher hopes that CTL will be helpful to improve the teaching learning process in general and grammar especially.
