Learners who learned English through Audio-lingual method had a profound knowledge of grammar, but they could not use it to communicate their knowledge and experience fluently. Consequently, there was a shift towards communicative language teaching (CLT). This shift towards CLT solved the fluency problem but created another unwanted effect. Although CLT learners became fluent speakers of a given language, they made lots of mistakes, sometimes hindering communication. That is, they were communicatively competent but linguistically incompetent. The reason is that many CLT teachers ignore grammar. This study aims at uncovering EFL teachers’ strategies in addressing grammar in communicative instruction. The techniques were extracted from 12 participants’ exxpression in terms of their success in teaching grammar in communication instruction. Following the constructivist grounded theory procedures, participants’ perspective on techniques of teaching grammar were theoretically sampled through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Moreover, one more method, memo writing, was also applied to gather the intended and related data. Finally, the exxpressions of the participants were analyzed baxsed on the data analysis method in constructivist research design. All of the uncovered strategies were obtained through two categories: focus on form instruction and focus on forms instruction. These are two categories which were deriven from this study. Many different strategies which have been put under focus on form instruction category are those strategies used by many EFL teachers owing to their skills and experiences in teaching grammar structures in their years.
