Deductive and Inductive Approaches in Teaching Grammar

Abstract

The article examines two main approaches to teaching grammar: deductive and inductive. The deductive approach based on the direct presentation of grammatical rules is suitable for situations requiring clarity and structure, especially for adult learners and in conditions of limited time. An inductive approach focused on learning through observation and discovery promotes active student engagement and is better suited for children and situations where the emphasis is on fluency in language.
