This book investigates innovative approaches to teaching and learning second language (L2) grammar by combining strategy-based instruction (SBI) supported by advanced computer-assisted language learning (CALL) tools, including artificial intelligence (AI). Through a blend of theoretical insights, empirical research, and practical recommendations, it examines how these approaches enhance grammar learning strategies (GLS), promote learner autonomy, and improve the mastery of grammar in digital contexts.

The book is anchored in a study conducted with Polish university students that assessed the impact of SBI on explicit and implicit (automatized) knowledge of the English passive voice, GLS use, and learner response to the intervention aided by CALL tools. The findings highlight significant gains in GLS use, autonomy, and implicit (automatized) grammar knowledge, underscoring the role of CALL environments in fostering effective and engaging grammar learning experiences.

Designed for educators, researchers, and students, this volume combines cutting-edge pedagogical methods with actionable insights. It emphasizes the importance of autonomy in grammar learning and showcases how technology can enrich this process. By bridging theory and practice, this book provides a roadmap for implementing innovative grammar instruction and opens new avenues for research in technology-enhanced language education.
