Grammar becomes one affecting factor for a successful communication. Hence, those who actively concern with grammar teaching have tried to use different grammar teaching approaches from traditional into communicative approach in order to enable language learners to have sufficient knowledge of communication. The effects of these changes have often been ignored by the grammar lecturers to what approach is accepted by the students. The objective of the study is to describe the perception of the lecturers and students toward grammar teaching. This is an instrumental case study conducted in two grammar classes consisting of 43 students at the English department of UNNES (State University of Semarang). The main instrument used was interview. The result shows that the students do not concern about what to emphasize in the grammar class whether form or meaning. Indeed, they need to study grammar to improve their communicative competence. The finding also describe that two most difficult grammar are tenses and modal which are affected by the difficulties to find the context. This suggests that grammar lecturers need to concern both grammar teaching approach and the students’ grammar learning.
