Inductive and Deductive Teaching Approaches

The video tutorial by Jose Casiras introduces two major approaches to teaching English grammar: deductive and inductive. The deductive approach is teacher-centered, starting with rules and moving to examples, while the inductive approach is learner-centered, beginning with examples and leading to rule discovery. The video provides examples of both methods and discusses their applications, concluding that the best approach depends on various factors such as lesson type, class size, and learning purpose.

What are the two main approaches to teaching grammar discussed in the video?

• Direct and Indirect

• Practical and Theoretical

• Analytical and Synthetic

• Deductive and Inductive

In the deductive approach, what does the teacher start with?

• The rule

• Student observations

• Contextualization

• Examples

What is the main focus of the deductive approach?

• Student interaction

• Contextual learning

• Rule explanation

• Example analysis

Which approach is described as teacher-centered?

• Interactive

• Collaborative

• Deductive

• Inductive

In the inductive approach, what is the role of the students?

• To follow instructions

• To observe and derive rules

• To listen passively

• To memorize rules

How does the inductive approach begin?

• With a rule

• With a test

• With examples

• With a lecture

What is the main advantage of the inductive approach?

• It is more traditional

• It requires less preparation

• It is more engaging for students

• It is faster

What is the teacher's role in the inductive approach?

• To provide rules

• To give examples

• To test students

• To lecture

Which approach is described as learner-centered?

• Interactive

• Deductive

• Collaborative

• Inductive

What is the first step in the deductive approach example provided?

• Explaining the rule

• Giving examples

• Asking questions

• Discussing the context
