A Comparison between Deductive and Inductive Approaches for Teaching EFL Grammar to High School Students

Abstract: This study had the purpose of testing two methods for teaching grammar in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) class: the deductive and inductive approaches in terms of effectiveness and rapport. This research was conducted in a public high school in Ecuador. Seventy students enrolled in the second year of senior high school participated. One in-service teacher taught the EFL classes during the process of intervention (10 weeks), and two EFL teachers observed all of these classes and recorded the information by… Show more

“…The reason lies in the fact that this approach allowed for easier retention of the rules than if the students were given an explanation that was disconnected from examples of the rule (Macfadyen, 2015;Donalo, Boyerlein & Fiero, 2017;& International Teacher Training Organization, 2019). However, this result agrees with the one found by (Gorat & Prijambodo, 2013;Eriksson, 2014;Alzu'bi, 2015;Kaur & Niwas, 2016;& Benitez-Correa, Gonzalez-Torres;Ochoa-Gueva & Vargas-Saritama, 2019) indicating that the inductive teaching approach was more effective in teaching grammar than the deductive teaching approach. On the other hand, the result does not agree with the findings of many other researchers.…”

“…That teaching in a particular form occurs as a result of a student needs analysis. The contribution of the findings of this study is to verify existing theories of focus on forms and focus on form (Long, 1991) regarding teaching English grammar at the junior high school level, to complement more detailed information on how Indonesian teacher teaches English grammar to Junior High School students previous research concern on the teaching English grammar in general (Widodo, 2006;Derewianka and Jones, 2010;Tandiana, Abdullah & Komara, 2017;Milawati, 2019;Benitez-Correa, Gonzalez-Torres & Vargas-Saritama, 2019), and contribute technically to the teacher by providing information on teaching English grammar techniques at the junior high school level.…”

“…The next technique used by the teacher in teaching English grammar to junior high school students is contextual teaching. After the teacher taught English grammar with a basic approach, i.e., deductive English teaching grammar, modeling English grammatical patterns, score-oriented English language learning activities, in this part the teacher combines the basic approach as stated before in Benitez-Correa, Gonzalez-Torres, and Vargas-Saritama (2019) involving the presentation of grammatical structure, controlled exercises, and the opportunity to produce it freely with contextual language teaching. According to the teacher, teaching English grammar not only requires teaching about grammar rules, but the rules also need to apply to the context in everyday life, as shown in the transcript below:…”

“…Furthermore, learners will be guided to try to formulate, model, and or infer the basic concepts of the displaying (Effendy, 2005;Mahjoob, 2015). Some previous researches prove that this approach is considered more effective than the deductive approach in teaching (Benitez-Correa, Gonzalez-Torres, Ochoa-Cueva, & Vargas-Saritama, 2019;Mallia, 2014).…”
