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.
