Abstract:
Mastering English tenses poses a significant challenge for learners of English as a Second Language (ESL), often due to the complexity of verb forms and differences from learners' native languages. This paper investigates the effectiveness of a grammar-based communicative approach in teaching English tenses to intermediate ESL students. The study was conducted over 10 weeks with 45 learners and employed both explicit instruction and contextual practice through communicative tasks. Using pre- and post-tests, learner interviews, and classroom observations, the research found that combining focused grammar instruction with practical usage significantly improved learners' understanding and application of verb tenses. The findings support the integration of form-focused teaching with meaningful communicative activities to enhance tense accuracy, fluency, and learner confidence. The paper recommends structured yet interactive methods such as tense timelines, real-life speaking tasks, and corrective feedback to foster mastery of English tense usage in ESL contexts.
