I would like to hear what others have to say about this as well. I teach Spanish I in eighth grade and students will be going into a more traditional Spanish 2 class in high school, so I would love to hear from people with experience in this type of situation.
Chris one category here that addresses this is the “TPRS vs. Traditional” category. Some of those blog posts from years past may hit on this subject. Here is an example:

By no means am I an expert on blending traditional and CI, but I use the Standard Deviants DVD’s in very short bursts from time to time for grammar. I think there are clips of some on youtube. I have to present grammar to some extent because of the way our school schedules classes, some students will take online/correspondence courses for a semester or two and transition in and out of my classes. I also have students out on extended medical, so I have links on my class website to the studyspanish dot com site, as well as links to online conjugators.
I just want to clarify my own reply. My first experience with teaching grammar only in context was with the reflexive last spring. I was amazed that they ‘got it’ better than previous years with numerous workbook activities that accompanied the text. That convinced me that I had really wasted a ridiculous amount of time trying to pound home grammar with those hated worksheets. Now I am a believer in the importance of context and the ‘pop up’ minimal explanation. However, because of the situations outlined above, I offer the online grammar links for reference purposes.
