Three Grammar Presentation Methods:

The Deductive Method

The Inductive Method

The Guided Discovery Method

 The Deductive Methodrelies on :
R
easoning A nalyzing C
omparing
Teaching Procedure

• Teacher’s example on the board

• Teacher’s explanation of the rules

• Student’s practice application of the rules.

The Deductive Method
Advantages:
•good for selected and motivated students
•save time to explain complex rules
•increase students’ confidence in examination

Disadvantages:
• grammar is taught isolatedly
•little attention is paid to meaning
•the practice is often mechanical
 The Inductive Method
• authentic language data
• induce the learners to realize grammar rules
• without any form of explicit (clear) explanation

Teaching Procedure

• authentic language presentation

• let students observe, analyze, compare examples
• help students induct grammar rules
• more examples.
The Inductive Method
Advantages:
•inspire students’ thinking activities
•motivate students’ learning interests
•grammar is taught in context.

Disadvantages:
• presentation is more complex and time consumption
•grammar is not taught directly
•some rules can not be induced easily
The Guided Discovery Method
Similar to the inductive method:

• (similar) the students are induced to discover rules by

themselves

• .(different) the process of the discovery is carefully guided

• assisted by the teacher and the rules are then elicited and
and
taught explicitly
Questions that first need to be addressed for each class:
What are the objectives of this class?

What type of learning background do the learners have?

What learning materials and resources are available?

What kind of learning style does each student have?
