How to teach grammar in context?

I think that grammar and context are often so closely related that appropriate grammatical choices can only be made with reference to the context and purpose of the communication.

Therefore, I opt for teaching grammar through context because a situational context permits presentation of a wide range of language items. The situation serves as a means of contextualizing the language and this helps clarify its meaning. Thus, we can teach grammar through texts, stories, songs or poems.

Teaching Grammar is one of the difficult tasks that a teacher should choose his wary between them, in which way? Students usually like the shortest way to get them to the objective of the lesson. One way that I suggest is to use a text based task. That can be through teaching the grammatical rules in a piece of reading or a dialogue or such an in advance prepared reading text followed by a task mainly concentrating on finding the grammatical elements to teach and gap filling and drills.
