A CACSE STUDY IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY AND ENVIRONMENT OF HUNG YEN UNIVERSITYOF TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy1, Dang Thi Huong Thao2, Do Thi Oanh24 1 Tay Bac University 2 Hung Yen University of Technology and Education Abstract: This paper presents a study which aims at analyzing the approach to grammar in the textbook New Headway Pre-intermediate and giving implications for English grammar teaching and learning at the Department of Chemistry and Environment of Hung Yen University of Technology and Education (UTEHY). Then, it reports the findings of the study which indicated that both teachers and students at UTEHY have positive attitudes towards grammar and the approach to grammar in the New Headway Pre-intermediate is Presentation-Practiceproduction (PPP) approach. From these findings, practical implications are proposed to improve the English grammar teaching and learning at the Department of Chemistry and Environment of UTEHY. Keywords: Grammar, PPP, approach. 1.
