The teaching and learning of grammar in universities for Pre/Asasi TESL courses is often a 14-week course of study and often, the treatment towards this subject is slightly different from the CLT approach in schools.

The instrument used in this study is a 64 item questionnaire that looked at the students perceptions of learner anxiety, preparedness and metalinguistic knowledge and other aspects. This study reveals that out of 30 paired-sample items, 16 items showed significant changes in perceptions. These included differences in the subjects' perceptions of their ability to formulate and analyze rules. There were also significant shifts in the enjoyment and ease in learning grammar factors.
