1) WHAT GRAMMAR SHOULD WE TEACH? - Assuming, then, that grammar teaching can contribute to inter language development, the next logical question concerns what grammar we should teach. This question can be broken down into two separate questions:

1. What kind of grammar should we base teaching on?

2. Which grammatical features

2) IS THERE A BEST WAY TO TEACH GRAMMAR FOR IMPLICIT KNOWLEDGE? - There is a controversy regarding how to measure the effectiveness of the instructional options. Norris and Ortega (2000) have shown that the effectiveness of instruction varies depending on whether it is measured using metalinguistic judgements, selected response, constrained constructed response, 10/22/12

Bayram Pekoz has noted some problems associated with grammar teaching. Direct grammar instruction is still very common. Contextual instructional techniques are not readily accessible to practitioners. In most cases grammar instruction is not integrated into the four skills but given in isolation. Mostly it is teachers that formulate

q 10/22/12

Learners should not be overwhelmed with linguistic terminology (Brown, 2001). Grammar should be taught in digestible segments bearing the cognitive process in mind. Traditional grammar teaching, for instance, tends to cover the following points in the same lesson: the passive voice with all the tenses,

all the uses of indirect speech (i.e. 10/22/12 reporting statements, negative

Integration of grammar with the teaching of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.

Example of teaching integrated grammar skills in a classroom.

- First, teacher will start the lesson by presenting a specific grammartopic for example, past tense verbs.

10/22/12

For a reading passage, teacher will choose a story told in the past tense. Then, the teacher will assign a writing exercise like: What did you do last weekend? For speaking, teacher will ask students what they did in their home country. And for a listening exercise, teacher will ask them to interview another student, and then report it to the class. 10/22/12

Another way to do this is to choose a single topic for the entire lesson, both grammar and the four skills. For example, a topic could be something like jobs or job interviews. If the grammar lesson of the day is irregular past tense verbs, we can discuss the students past job experience, their past job responsibilities and so on. They can conduct mock job interviews with each other (exercising their speaking 10/22/12

THE DEDUCTIVE APPROACH

The deductive approach is a teachercentered approach. This means that the teacher gives the students a new concept, explains it, and then has the students practice using the concept. For example, when teaching a new grammar concept, the teacher will introduce the concept, explain the rules related to its use, and finally the students will practice using the 10/22/12 concept in a variety of different ways.

THE INDUCTIVE APPROACH

inductive approach can also be called rule-discovery learning. It suggests that a teacher teach grammar

starting with presenting some examples of sentences. learners

Learners understand grammatical rules from the examples. The presentation of grammatical

ADVANTAGES OF DEDUCTIVE APPROACH

The deductive approach goes straightforwardly to the point and can, therefore, be time-saving. It confirms many learners expectations about classroom learning particularly for those who have an analytical style. A number of direct 10/22/12 practice/application examples are

DISADVANTAGES OF DEDUCTIVE APPROACH

Younger learners may not able to understand the concepts or encounter grammar terminology given. Grammar explanation encourages a teacher-fronted, transmission-style classroom, so it will hinder learner involvement and interaction immediately.
10/22/12

ADVANTAGES OF INDUCTIVE APPROACH

Learners are trained to be familiar with the rule discovery; this could enhance learning autonomy and selfreliance. The learners are more active in the learning process, rather than being simply passive recipients. In this activity, they will be motivated.
10/22/12

DISADVANTAGES OF INDUCTIVE APPROACH

The approach is time and energyconsuming as it leads learners to have the appropriate concept of the rule. The concepts given implicitly may lead the learners to have the wrong concepts of the rule taught. The approach may frustrate the learners with their personal learning style, or their past learning experience 10/22/12 (or both) would prefer simply to be told
