The findings showed that students’ major objectives for learning grammar are to become a successful communicator, to construct grammatically correct sentences and to write correctly. In addition to this, the results revealed that a highest number of students did not fulfil the objectives of the course. Consequently, the current study recommends teaching grammar in both speaking and writing classes for students to master language form and language use
