How to teach grammar from rules?
Sample lesson
Good explanation depends in part on the students'
understanding of the metalanguage
The effciency depends on the kind of rule
being explained
If the rule is
simple, this approach can be extremely economic in terms of time
The deductive approach is
particularly appropriate
for adult learners whose learning style predispose them to a more analytical and reflective approach to language learning
A deductive approach
Deductive approach starts with the presentation of a rule and is followed by examples in which the rule is applied
Rule-drive learning
It is not necessarily dependent on translation
Advantages
It respects students' intelligence, maturity, learning style
It confirms students' expectations about clasroom learning.
It is direct
Disadvantages
Teacher explanation is often at the expense of student involvement and interaction.
Explanation is seldom as memorable as other forms of presentation.
Little metalanguage.
It encourages the belief that learning a language is simply
a case of knowing the rules.
Dull, over-technical, and demotivating
Inductive approach starts with some examples from which a rule is inferred
Teacher's presentation of the rule
it will be illustrated by examples
it will be short
Students' understanding will be checked
Students will have an opportunity to personalise the rule
Procedures requiring learners to teach and test one another might be as effective as a teacher explanation.
Rules and explanations
Limitation
Rules should show clearly what the limits are on the use of
a given form
Clarity
is it clearly expressed?
Truth
is the rule true?
Simplicity
Rules should be simple
Familiarity
An explanatIon should try to make use of concepts already
familiar to the learner.
Relevance
A rule should answer only those questions that the student
needs answered
