In recent decades
with the growing need of foreign language communicative abilities in the EFL context
where is full of vague language and incomplete sentences
language teaching tends to highlight communicative competence and intercultural communicative competence. Thus
it requires more on social awareness of target speech community and knowledge of spoken rules. From these perspectives
the traditional language instruction pattern could not provide sufficient oral communication skills and spoken knowledge. Therefore
the spoken and informal grammatical features are gradually become matters of concern apart from typical written and formal form. This paper explores features of spoken language and spoken grammar
and then investigates English language teachers’ attitude on spoken grammar
so as to provide some insightful ideas about introducing and teaching spoken grammar.
