According to some researches the process of learning grammar of a second language can be acquired naturally from meaningful input and opportunities to interact in the classroom and that each student needs a specific time to be ready to started using that knowledge .It means that the learners fist pick up specific features of the language and pay attention to them, they NOTICE items of language and the way they are used ,them learners tend to use their capacity to analyze new language, all these sequences bring us to the concept of readiness to learn that appear to be important.

Based on that analysis, there are three perspectives to use when presenting grammar: grammar as meaning, grammar in discourse and grammar and style. It mean that it is important to contextualized grammatical structure and that the context in which grammar is embedded need to be generally useful and appropriate to the needs of the learners. Context can be created through visuals, the teacher mining, dialogues, a text, a song, video or through situations Sep up by the teacher.
