That a linguist should be familiar with language teaching problems as well as that a language teacher should be aware of fundamental linguistic concepts, procedures of analysis and problem solving is the starting point for the author of this paper. Main objectives of teaching the mother tongue are examined. These lead, it is asserted, to a text oriented (users-uses) approach of teaching to be combined with the Functional Grammar that takes into consideration morphological structures of Modern Greek in regard to their functions. Each objective is further examined according to the reality of teaching Modern Greek in school (books, methods, etc.). Striking desiderata arepointed out and suggestions are made as to possible solutions, including a proper Functional-Communicative Grammar of Modern Greek.
