The data covers grammatical components (language dimensions), grammatical aspects for improving communicative competence, and grammatical aspects for organization as grammatical learning dimension, which collected through identification stage, coding, and classifying. Data analysis and interpretation showed that syntactical components commonly found in the textbooks. Syntactical sentences in forms of plural/singular sentence structures, active/passive sentences, verb/adverb sentences, transitive/intransitive sentences considered as the most significant elements to organize the sentences. Despite, the pronunciation and phonemes in phonology, parts of speech in morphology, and choice of words in semantics, as well as paragraph development in text component are less significant. Whereas, to develop the communicative competency, grammar in the competency grammatical in forms of ability to adapt the language rules according to linguistic theory (phonology/graphology, vocabulary, morphology, syntax) were the most commonly applied rather than socio-linguistic competency, text competency, and strategic competency. Contextual discourse in the form of repetitive concept was the most commonly used in comparison to inductive/deductive aspect, integrating aspect, and material assessment aspect.
