Inductive approach to English grammar teaching

Abstract

The teaching of English as a Second Language (ESL) has undergone great evolution, driven by growing demand for effective communication in a globalized world. A key aspect of ESL teaching is the methodology used to develop communicative and cognitive skills particularly while learning grammar. Grammar is not separate study anymore; it is the tool for deeper and insightful communication. The need of mastering grammar in the context for better understanding how it works changed the traditional methodology. Nowadays the inductive approach of teaching grammar predominates and spreads into teaching. Our study focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of inductive and deductive approaches to grammar instruction, comparing their strengths, limitations and application in modern classrooms. The aim of the research is to analyze the evolution of grammar teaching methods, compare inductive and deductive approaches, and explore the practical implementation of teaching grammar inductively in ESL classrooms.
