Abstract: This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the role of grammar in developing writing skills, particularly among English Language Education students at Esa Unggul University. Despite grammar being a crucial component in writing, many students perceive it as burdensome, which can affect their confidence and writing fluency. This perception gap has rarely been explored from the learner's perspective in academic writing contexts. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of student writing samples involving 11 participants. Thematic analysis revealed that students acknowledged grammar as vital for clarity, coherence, and professionalism in academic writing. However, challenges in applying grammar, such as tense use and sentence structure, were also prominent. Furthermore, students emphasized the importance of contextual grammar instruction over rote memorization. The findings suggest that while students value grammar, their engagement is influenced by how it is taught. Integrating grammar into meaningful writing activities and fostering positive emotional experiences can enhance students' motivation and proficiency. This study provides valuable insights for educators to develop learner-centered instructional strategies that align grammar with writing practices, ultimately contributing to more effective EFL writing pedagogy.
