This paper examines the role of explicit and implicit grammar instruction in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, with particular attention to the Central Asian educational context. Drawing on existing research in second language acquisition (SLA), the study explores the theoretical foundations of both instructional approaches and their practical implications for EFL learners in Uzbekistan and the broader Central Asian region. Explicit grammar instruction, characterized by direct rule presentation and metalinguistic awareness, is compared with implicit instruction, which promotes naturalistic acquisition through meaningful communication. The paper argues that neither approach is universally superior; rather, effective grammar teaching in Central Asian EFL settings requires a balanced integration of both methods, adapted to learners' proficiency levels, cultural background, and educational environment. Key challenges include large class sizes, limited exposure to authentic English input, and prevailing grammar-translation traditions. The paper concludes with pedagogical recommendations for EFL practitioners in the region.
