Lesson 5

What is the main focus of the deductive approach in language teaching?

• Providing specific examples first, then identifying the rule

• Starting with a general rule and then providing specific examples

• Presenting authentic language without explanations

• Encouraging students to guess the rules

In a deductive approach lesson, what would a teacher likely do first?

• Explain a grammar rule

• Ask students to find patterns on their own

• Show students a video conversation

• Provide practice with communicative skills only

Which of the following is a potential advantage of the deductive approach?

• It encourages active participation

• It’s a fast and efficient way to learn rules

• It helps learners use language spontaneously

• It’s better for developing communicative skills

One disadvantage of the deductive approach is that it may not be as effective for…

• Communicative skill development

• Quickly understanding rules

• Identifying grammar patterns

• Learning vocabulary

Which of these best describes the inductive approach?

• Start with rules, then give examples

• Start with examples, then derive rules

• Give students lists of vocabulary

• Only focus on speaking skills

How does the inductive approach typically engage students?

• Students memorize language rules

• Students passively listen to grammar explanations

• Students explore examples and find patterns

• Students repeat language structures without analysis

An advantage of the inductive approach is that it…

• Requires less time and support

• Allows faster rule memorization

• Can be more interactive and engaging

• Avoids the need for authentic materials

A disadvantage of the inductive approach is that it…

• May take more time to understand the rule

• Doesn’t allow for interactive learning

• Doesn’t help with rule application

• Fails to develop communicative skills

Which approach is more likely to help students develop communicative skills?

• Deductive

• Inductive

• Both equally

• Neither approach

What do most language teachers do in practice with these approaches?

• Use only inductive methods

• Use only deductive methods

• Combine both deductive and inductive approaches

• Avoid teaching grammar rules
