摘　　要：In the EFL classroom, grammar is often taught at the level of sentence. And such problems are often met that the students can＇t relate the grammar with what they want to convey in spoken or written discourse. This state-of-fairs reflects a rather counterproductive view of grammar since there are relatively few rules of English grammar that are completely context-free. Hence, discourse-based approaches in grammar teaching would be strongly advocated and carried out in the communicative curriculum.
