Middle School Science for the Future!

I am taking an online class in instructing the English Language (a continuing certification requirement in Arizona) and it has gotten me thinking.  21st century learners will need to communicate and to communicate well if they want their ideas to be heard and used.  In this environment then teaching correct use of language…any language becomes imperative!  Learners need to be able to communicate in order to tell others about their ideas, collaborate with peers and even, to some extent, to be creative with the language.

What do you all think?  Is is still important to teach grammar??
