Teaching grammar involves presenting several examples that illustrate a specific concept and expecting students to notice how the concept works from these examples.
Deductive teaching
Inductive teaching
Both approaches.
Teaching grammar is an approach that focuses on instruction before practice.
Inductive teaching
Both approaches
Deductive teaching
Teaching students how to communicate effectively and understand how to use the English language. Using games and interaction to teach grammar not only engages students but also helps them to remember what they’ve learned

It is an argument that means grammar is needed in order to make new sentences.
The fine-tuning argument
The fossilization argument
The sentence-machine argument
It is an argument that believes grammar is needed in order to be more explicit and to make sure you don’t confuse the listener or reader.
The sentence-machine argument
The fine-tuning argument
The fossilization argument
It is an argument that believes grammar teaching is needed, because otherwise learners will reach a language plateau beyond which it is very difficult to progress.

It is an argument that believes grammar teaching is needed, because otherwise learners will reach a language plateau beyond which it is very difficult to progress.
The sentence-machine argument
The fine-tuning argument
The fossilization argument
According to this argument, when grammar is taught to learners, they will notice it and will be able to use it themselves.
The advance-organizer argument
The discrete item argument
The rule-of-law argument
According to this argument: for learners the language might seem easier when they are taught grammar, because grammar consists of rules, which makes the language more clear instead of a gigantic, shapeless mass.
The advance-organizer argument
The discrete item argument
The rule-of-law argument
According to this argument: grammar is a great way for having structure in class, especially with unruly and unmotivated students. It is easier to teach than for example speaking.
The advance-organizer argument
The discrete item argument
The rule-of-law argument
According to this argument: students might expect being taught grammar, so in order not to turn them down, you’ll teach grammar.
The advance-organizer argument
The discrete item argument
The learner expectations argument
According to the arguments against teaching grammar, when students know the grammar rules, it doesn’t mean they can apply those rules, so it is better to let them experience the language instead of teaching grammar.
The knowledge-how argument
The communication argument
The acquisition argument
According to the arguments against teaching grammar, there is more to knowing a language than just grammar. Good example is knowing that “Do you drink?” is a present simple question, but that still doesn’t give you the knowledge that it is an offer.
The knowledge-how argument
The communication argument
The acquisition argument
According to the arguments against teaching grammar, there is more to knowing a language than just grammar. Good example is knowing that “Do you drink?” is a present simple question, but that still doesn’t give you the knowledge that it is an offer.
The knowledge-how argument
The communication argument
The acquisition argument
According to the arguments against teaching grammar, we learned our first language without being taught grammar as well.
The knowledge-how argument
The communication argument
The acquisition argument
According to the arguments against teaching grammar, teachers don’t teach grammar in the order which we learn language with naturally.
The natural order argument
The communication argument
The acquisition argument
According to the arguments against teaching grammar, it might be better to learn chunks, instead of grammar, because probably this is the way we have learnt our first language as well.
The natural order argument
The lexical chunks argument
The acquisition argument
According to the arguments against teaching grammar, students might have been taught grammar for years already, and now they want to use the grammar instead of learning it.
The natural order argument
The lexical chunks argument
The learner expectations argument
Learning-by-doing is also known as..
experiential learning
life-like communication
chunks of language
This is larger than words but often less than sentences.
Chunks
Phrases
Sentences
One of the older forms of teaching grammar, first appeared in the 19th century. This method involves visually mapping the structures of and relationships between different aspects of a sentence.
LEARNING THROUGH WRITING
DIAGRAMMING SENTENCES
It tell us whom or what a sentence is about.
Subjects
Verbs
It tell us what the subject is or does.
Subjects
Verbs
These do just what their name implies. They help the main verb in the sentence by telling us more about its tense and the subtleties of its meaning.
Helping verbs
Verbs
This method is often used in schools in the U.S. and Canada. Students are encouraged to explore language through creative writing and reading, picking up correct grammar usage along the way.
LEARNING THROUGH WRITING
INTERACTIVE TEACHING
The advantages of a deductive approach are: (3)
It respects the intelligence and maturity of many - especially adult - students, and acknowledges the role of cognitive processes in language acquisition.
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.
It confirms many students' expectations about classroom learning, particularly for those learners who have an analytical learning style.
Explanation is seldom as memorable as other forms of presentation, such as demonstration.
Pedagogic rules can be split up into what rules? (2)
rules of form
rules of knkowledge
rules of use
The disadvantages of an inductive approach include:(3)
The time and energy spent in working out rules may mislead students into believing that rule are the objective of language learning, rather than a means.
The time taken to work out a rule may be at the expense of time spent in putting the rule to some sort of productive practice.
An inductive approach frustrates students who, by dint of their personal learning style of their past learning experience (or both), would prefer simply to be told the rule.
Working things out for themselves prepares students for greater self-reliance and is therefore conductive to learner autonomy.
A method of teaching grammar that places more emphases on the communicative purpose of speech.

Choose 3 among the given statements the advantages of using texts:
They provide co-textual information, allowing learners to deduce the meaning of unfamiliar grammatical items from the co-text.
If the texts are authentic they can show how the item is used in real communication.
As well as grammar input, texts provide vocabulary input, skills practice, and exposure to features of text organization.
Not all texts will be of equal interest to students.
This method of teaching grammar is one of the extremely versatile techniques, and once you get the hang of it, it can be a convenient and natural grammar teaching tool. You may even find that it is the technique that holds students' attention best, as well as the one they enjoy most.
