How can we teach grammar in classroom?
Deductive or inductive? I guess inductive way is better one. Deductive way is somewhat traditional way of teaching English grammar. Teacher’s explanation is a main method of deductive way. However, students are normally bored when they are just listening to teacher’s explanation. What is more, grammar is boring subject itself. Students became less motivated.
So, to motivate student intrinsically and not to be bored, students have to participate in the class. Inductive way is the method that students find grammatical knowledge themselves in CLT based class. If students find knowledge themselves, they can remember it longer. Normally, inductive way is mixed with other techniques, such as discussion, game, etc. By integrating with other activities, students will be interested in participation. By participating in the activities, they can discover the grammatical knowledge themselves, they can learn the knowledge.
Of course, I would like to emphasize again that grammar teaching should be integrated with other activities. Grammar only is not an ideal situation, because it is not very fascinating subject to students.
Therefore, I assert teaching and learning grammar should follow integrated inductive way.
