The objectives of the research were 1) to study the needs of English grammar topics, 2) to investigate the efficiency of supplementary books on a basis of 80/80 criteria, 3) to compare the achievements between before and after studying, and 4) to study the opinions towards English grammar teaching behaviors. The sample group included 84 second-year cadets in academic year 2020. The research instruments were 1) a questionnaire of needs of English grammar topics, 2) a supplementary book, 3) learning management plans, 4) an English grammar achievement test and 5) English grammar teaching behavior questionnaire.
