There has been an idea commonly agreed by teachers and practitioners of English in general that young learners should not be taught grammar. This idea is based on some myths that for young learners grammar is too difficult, not relevant, and also theoretical, something that neglects meaning in learning a foreign language.

This paper aims at opening the insight abouth teching grammar to young larners especially describing two major points, why it is important to teach grammar to young learners and how it should be introduced to them.
