Deductive Approach of GRammar Teaching
Disadvantages
Starting the lesson with a grammar presentation may be off-putting for some students,
especially younger ones. They may not have sufficient met language (i.e. language used to
talk about language such as grammar terminology). Or they may not be able to understand
the concepts involved.
Grammar explanation encourages a teacher-fronted, transmission-style classroom; 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.
Advantages
It gets straight to the point, and can therefore be time-saving. Many rules — especially
rules of form — can be more simply and quickly explained than elicited from examples.
This will allow more time for practice and application.
It respects the intelligence and maturity of many - especially adult -students, and
acknowledges the role of cognitive processes in language acquisition.
It confirms many students' expectations about classroom learning, particularly for those
learners who have an analytical learning style.
It allows the teacher to deal with language points as they come up, rather than having to
anticipate them and prepare for them in advance.
