ABSTRACT: Grammar is the cornerstone of English language learning, and its importance continues throughout the learning process and its practical application. However, how to teach grammar effectively has sparked extensive and heated discussions around the world. Chinese Ministry of Education released the English Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education in 2022, advocating that English grammatical knowledge is a synthesis of form, meaning and use. The purpose of learning English grammar is to understand and master its form, meaning and use in context, so as to flexibly use grammatical knowledge to express meaning accurately. This paper presents a systematic review of the published literature about English grammar teaching. The review categorizes the literature into several different areas of study, especially the adoption of the Three-Dimensional Grammar framework in improving students’ English grammar mastery and application ability. Future research directions guided by gaps in the literature are explored.
