This paper reconsiders the functions of the traditional English grammar teaching and the communicative language teaching. Through analysis and practice, we think that they are not opposed to each other. In order to improve the students’ ability and gain better teaching results, the two kinds of teaching approaches should not be used respectively. On the contrary, we’d better combine them together and use them flexibly in our teaching work.
