The following research studies the correlation between teachers’ beliefs about teaching grammar and their actual classroom practices. There was a need of such kind of study in Pakistani context in order to make teachers realize the importance of knowing one’s teaching beliefs before moving to changing them. This research is a mixture of qualitative and quantitative research. Survey questionnaire, interviews and class observations were used for data collection. Data was collected from three semi government schools where as five teachers were conveniently selected for class observations and interviews. The data was analyzed and interpreted to get the final results. It is concluded that there is a deep woven correlation between teachers’ beliefs about teaching English grammar and their classroom practices of teaching grammar. It is recommended that teachers should know their existing teaching beliefs because it is the need of the hour to improve our educational standards by making positive changes in the teaching of grammar.
