Teaching English grammar within contextualized frameworks presents numerous challenges, including balancing explicit instruction with meaningful use, addressing diverse learner needs, and managing resource constraints. This comprehensive study investigates these specific difficulties faced by educators in various educational settings. Utilizing both qualitative and quantitative data, the research highlights common obstacles and proposes practical solutions grounded in contemporary pedagogical theory. The findings reveal that integrating grammar instruction within authentic language use enhances learner engagement and comprehension, although it requires careful planning and adaptive teaching strategies.
