This document discusses and compares the inductive and deductive methods of teaching grammar. The inductive method involves presenting students with examples and having them induce grammatical rules, while the deductive method involves presenting students with rules and then applying them. Some key advantages of the inductive method are that it makes teaching more interesting and emphasizes functional grammar and pattern practice. However, it requires more competence from teachers and time to teach concepts. The deductive method saves teacher time but ignores oral aspects and does not provide enough pattern practice or connect thoughts to expressions.
