METHODS OF TEACHING GRAMMAR, There, , are, , few, , methods, , 1., 2, , of, , teaching, , of, , Deductive, Inductive, , 3., , Inductive, , grammar:, Method, method, , Deductive, , Method, , 4. Incidental Method, 1. Deductive Method:, , •, , This, , method, , is, , also, , called, , the, , traditional, , method., , • In this method, grammar is taken as an independent subject and, taught, with, the, help, of, a, grammar, book., • The teacher uses a grammar text book. He first tells his students rules, or definitions and then explains those with the help of examples then, he gives exercise and ask his pupils to apply the rules., • The learners are supposed to memories the definition of noun., • This method is not very effective as it is against the principles of, teaching and students find it boring and dull., A., Advantages, of, Deductive, Method, 1. Average teacher can use this method in country like India., 2. It is based on the theory “From generalization to example”., 3. This method helps students to compare the ideas in grammar of, mother, tongue, and, second, or, first, language., 4. The learner can try the grammatical questions very easily., 5. Learner can respond effectively and can explain rules, structures,, etc., B., Disadvantage, of, Deductive, Method, 1. This method makes learner learning about language., 2. This method cannot develop communicative ability among learners, 3. The learners become inactive during classroom teaching, 4. This method is not child centered but teacher centered., 5. In the classroom teaching there is hardly use of audio visual aids.

2 Inductive Method:, •, , Inductive, , method, , is, , also, , known, , as, , informal, , method., , • In Inductive method the teacher first presents or takes the example, from, , the, , students, , then, , comes, , on, , theory, , of, , concept., , • This method implies teaching of grammar not by rules but by usage., Through continuous practice of using words while speaking, reading, and writing, grammar can be taught and therefore learnt by students., • This is done while teaching of text book or detailed translation of the, text book is carried on Grammatical implications are taught, simultaneously., • Through this method, practical uses of grammatical rules are, elicited. But sometimes this method becomes time consuming and, may divert the attention of the students., A. Advantage of Inductive Method, , 1. Inductive method is based on the theory “From example to generalization”. So, it is very useful in classroom teaching., 2. This method helps students to understand the difference between particular, notion in grammar of L1 and L2 / FL., 3. This method is child centered., 3. The learners learn the particular grammar point through use. First they have to, deduce the meaning and later they generalize the form or structure., , B. Disadvantage of Inductive Method, 1. This method is not useful in over crowed classes like India., 2. The institute must be ready to focus the language aspect, not the mark criteria., In this method the teacher has to use modern method of teaching language. Only, an innovative teacher can use this method.

3. Inductive-Deductive Method:, , Through this method student they formulate rules with the help of examples., Some steps of this method are as follows., • Students are given some examples of similar type., • Students try to find out similarities by analyzing or observing these examples., • Students are asked to draw some conclusions., • Then the teacher will give the rules and give new examples and ask her pupils to, verify the rules., , This method of teaching grammar proves very successful and advantageous as it, becomes practical, real and scientific. It follows all the maxims of teaching and, pupils are not forced to cram the rules. This method also stimulates the power of, thinking and reasoning., , Some shortcomings of this method are that it can be applied only to young, learners. Moreover, this method is not complete in itself because sometimes, students are unable to correlate examples with the topic., 4. Incidental Method:, , This method is also known as correlation or reference method of teaching. This, method helps students to correlate grammar with other related logical structures., Students gain a practical knowledge of grammatical rules., , Some disadvantages of this method are that it interferes with normal teaching, Productive learning is less and sometimes creating or forming an incident related, to a topic may be difficult for the teacher.
