Abstract: 

Teaching English grammar involves the identification of two types of challenges that encounter teachers; those which face the teachers at the global level of the profession and those which face them at local level in terms of classroom practices. The purpose of this study is to highlight these problems and obtain the views of the teachers on them. The Population of this study comprises 100 English language teachers from different schools; governmental and private. The data has been collected through a questionnaire. The collected data has been analyzed descriptively using the SPSS programmed. The study came up with a number of finings including the fact that the teachers faced problems which are intrinsic to them like their motivation, treacheries and some that are extrinsic such as insufficient training and working load. As for the methods and techniques, teachers expressed their opinions that most of the techniques are outdated and they do not match the new trends in teaching grammar. The study offered some suggestions for reformation based on the findings.
