Abstract
In recent decades of the XX century there has been an increasing interest in studying everyday English speech. Findings from the researches performed by foreign scientists in corpus linguistics present massive data about the features of spoken language. Consequently, language teaching experts show their interest in the issue. This is due to the fact that communicative method of teaching aims at teaching students to communicate in English in various life situations. Bringing spoken grammar into the classroom enables students to become effective communicators. The article analyses the scientific approaches to the study of spoken grammar and outlines its core features. The author of the article presents some activities which would allow students to improve their awareness of spoken language and speak the English language more fluently.
