Abstract

Teaching language is not only a matter of delivering language
materials to the learners (e.g., using various methods or media), but it
is also about what is thought and what is understood by the teachers
that might contribute indirectly in designing and delivering the
materials. Those aspects are the manifestations of teachers’ knowledge
about language. Teachers who have sufficient understanding on
language will be able to conduct better practice of language teaching
since they understand what they are teaching. It is then intriguing to
discuss the roles of syntax for language teachers: what can teachers
benefit from it? This paper aims at revisiting the importance of syntax
for language teachers by looking at the nature of language and the
nature of syntax. This paper reviews the available relevant literature.
The result of discussion emphasizes the potentiality of syntax to equip
teachers with adequate knowledge on language, language structure and
how to cope with changes in language. Moreover, reading syntax
research can enrich teachers’ knowledge. This knowledge can be of
beneficial for teachers, for instance in designing the language content
of teaching materials. These are not surprising since language teachers
are teaching language; therefore, they should also consider language
characteristics of the language they are teaching.
