How to teach grammar from examplesBy Saul hdz
Inductive Teaching • Student's study examples of the
content.
• Students make generalization leading to an understanding of the rule
The pros
• The mental effort involved ensures a greater degree of cognitive depth which, again ensures greater memorability
• Working things out for themselves prepares students for greater self-reliance and is therefore conducive to learner autonomy.
The cons
• The time and energy spent in working out rules may mislead students into believe that rules are the objective of language learning, rather than a means.
• Students may hypotheslse the wrong rule, in its application.
Steps
• 1- Provide students with examples
• 2- Have students arrange the examples into groups.
• 3- have students label groups.
