HOW TO TEACH GRAMMAR FROM RULES
DEDUCTIVE APPROACH AND
INDUCTIVE APPROACH
A deductive approach starts with the presentation of a rule and is followed by examples in which the rule is applied
An inductive approach starts with some examples from which a rule is inferred
Rule-driven learning and discovery learning respectively
The deductive (rule-driven) approach to language teaching is traditionally associated with Grammar-Translation
Speaking and listening practice can easily be incorporated into the basic lesson framework, and the translation exercises could just as well involve authentic texts.
Grammar-translation lessons started with an explanation of a grammar point.
Grammar-Translation is not viable in multilingual classes.
Many popular student grammar practice books adopt a deductive approach, with all their explanations and exercises in English
ADVANTAGES
It confirms many students' expectations about classroom learning, particularly for those learners who have an analytical learning style
It gets straight to the point, and can therefore be time-saving. This will allow more time for practice and application
It allows the teacher to deal with language points as they come up
DISADVANTAGES
Starting the lesson with a grammar presentation may be off-putting for some students, especially younger ones. They may not have sufficient metalanguage. Or they may not be able to understand the concepts involved
Teacher explanation is often at the expense of student involvement and interaction
Explanation is seldom as memorable as other forms of presentation, such as demonstration
Such an approach encourages the belief that learning a language is simply a case of knowing the rules
RULES AND EXPLANATIONS
Distinction was made between a rule that a linguist might devise to describe a regularity of the grammar and a rule that a teacher might give learners to apply
Clarity: Rules should be clear. Lack of clarity is often caused by ambiguity or obscure terminology
Simplicity: Rules should be simple
Limitation: Rules should show clearly what the limits are on the use of a given form
Familiarity: An explanation should try to make use of concepts already familiar to the learner
Truth: Rules should be true
Relevance: A rule should answer only those questions that the student needs answered
Lessons
Lesson 1: Using a rule explanation to teach question formation (Pre-intermediate)
The success of a good explanation depends in part on the students understanding of the metalanguage
Lesson 2: Teaching used to using translation (Elementary)
He attempts to involve the learners at cach stage, thereby reducing the danger of 'chalk-and-talkiness
Lesson 3: Teaching articles using grammar worksheets (Upper intermediate)
This lesson is based on the belief that, given the right incentive, learners can teach each other
Lesson 4: Teaching word order using a self-study grammar (Intermediate)
Many students have access to self-study grammars reference books which also include exercises and a key
