There is always a controversial discussion on the issue of grammar learning andteaching. With the advent of communicative approach, traditional grammarstranslation was criticized and opposed. Many scholars turn to languagecommunication and language use in context. However, the real situation is notsatisfied, even existing grammar error fossilization. Recently a majority of educatorsgradually concern about attention theory and draw on this idea into their teaching like the application of input enhancement and output activities so that learners can attainthe real accurate communicative capability. Sharwood Smith draws on input enhancement as a process that the inputmaterial gets much more salience to the learners, which maybe the result of intendedinstructions. Moreover, smith stresses that the input is a modified one instead of thenatural one in order to make input with specific features more salient. At the sametime, he discusses the factors of input in degrees of explicitness and elaboration.Smith advocates that learners should pay attention to a certain grammar andinternalize its forms in their own with the help of given input enhancement devicerather than a mass of explicit, lengthy explanations (Wong, 2007, p.10).
