The scarce grammar instruction in the Communicative Approach to English for Science and Technology (EST) teaching has often produced students who communicate well but lack grammatical competency. Academic and professional communication demands correctness, but how is it possible to teach grammar in a way that will help students develop grammatical competency with a communicative approach? This article discusses a possible answer to this question: the theory of noticing and its implementation through technology-enhanced language intake. Previous data confi rm that students who have explicit grammar instruction as part of their study achieve a higher level of grammatical accuracy than those who do not (Ellis, 2002, p. 19). Both Long (1988) and Ellis (1990), through reviewing a number of such empirical studies, have concluded that, overall, conscious learning seems to contribute to successful L2 development. However, there are too many linguistic rules for any learner, native speaker or not, to learn them all consciously. Therefore, the grammar features chosen for teaching-learning activities should not only be well selected on the basis of their relevance for the aims of the course and the students’ language needs, but their teaching methodology updated.
