The learner expectation argument Expectations that teaching will be grammar-focused may stem from frustration experienced at trying to pick up a second language in a non-classroom setting.
The case against grammar
The lexical chunks argument Acquiring chunks of language not only saves the learner planning time in the cut-and-thrust of real interaction.
The natural order argument The idea if an innate universal grammar helps explain similarities in the development order in first language acquisition as well as in second language acquisition.
The communication argument Communicative competence involves knowing how to use the grammar and vocabulary of the language to achieve communicative goals, and knowing how to do this in socially appropriate way.

The learner expectation argument (2) Many learners come to language classes in the expectation that at least some of the time they will be studying the grammar of the language.
Some learners demand grammar, other just want to talk.
