I have never been taught how to cross a busy street and I can assure you that I cross the street pretty well. I agree with you though that teaching grammar is important. However, I think that grammar rules are important as long as they serve language use. I also think that when students try to find out the rules (even through trial and error :) ) by themselves, They will effectively acquire the system.

Explanation and exploration need to be part and parcel of the learning process.

I’ve just completed an article citing 21 assumptions that most of us make with respect to teaching grammar and then I follow with 4 simple steps that ensure you are teaching a balanced and effective grammar program. I would love to read your readers’ reactions. Find the article at http://penningtonpublishing.com/blog/grammar_mechanics/how-to-teach-grammar/.

It is wise not to be dogmatic about methods. Every situation needs specific teaching practices depending on students needs, teaching goals, language points, number of students, level of students and other factors…

I think I share your views as regards the “explicit/implicit” grammar teaching contoversy, especially that you hold a balanced view which would opt for a variety of the two methods. In fact, one has to oscilate between the two every now and then within the same lesson. However, I do believe that opting for one method rather than the other depends much on what level and for what purpose you are teaching English.
Good luck

Also you might want to check your spelling of *detrimantal* I believe it is detrimental.
