    The deductive approach to teaching grammar has several strengths and weaknesses. It gets straight to the point which can save time, allowing more practice, but starting with grammar rules may not engage all students. While it acknowledges cognitive processes, it is teacher-centered with little student involvement. Confirming expectations for some, explanations may not stick in memory, and it risks an overfocus on rules rather than natural language use.
