INDUCTIVE AND DEDUCTIVE APPROACHES TO TEACHING GRAMMAR IN EARLY STAGE FOREIGN LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION.

Аннотация

This article explores the effectiveness of inductive and deductive approaches to teaching grammar in the early stages of foreign language instruction. The inductive approach, which emphasizes discovery learning through contextual examples, engages students and enhances retention by fostering active participation and critical thinking. Conversely, the deductive approach provides clear, explicit instruction on grammatical rules, offering structure and clarity that can be particularly beneficial for complex concepts. By examining case studies and research findings, the article highlights the advantages of each method and advocates for a hybrid approach that integrates both inductive and deductive techniques. This combined strategy caters to diverse learning preferences, promotes comprehensive understanding, and improves the practical application of grammar in real-life communication. The article concludes with practical recommendations for educators on how to effectively implement these approaches in the classroom.
