1) Introduction of Method

A method is a use of an approach in the perspective of language teaching. An example of a


method is the grammar-translation method. This method employs the memorization of various
grammar rules and the translation of second language material to the student’s native language.
Students were able to develop the intellectual capacity to understand the new language through a
deductive process of acquiring the rules of the language. The purpose is not to critique this
method but to show how it was derived from the approach that the mind needs to be trained
through intellectual exercises to be able to accomplish something.
Deductive method.
Deductive approach to instruction is a more teacher-centered approach. The deductive approach
represents a more traditional style of teaching in that the grammatical structures or rules are
dictated to the students first. Thus, the students learn the rule and apply it only after they have
been introduced to the rule. A deductive approach starts with presentation of a rule and is
followed by example in which the rule is applied.
Merits

1) This method is short and time-saving. The solution of the problems by pre-established

formulae takes little time.

2) It encourages memory as the students have to memories a considerable number of

formulae.

3) This method is advantageous at the “Practice and revision” stage.

4) It enhances speed and efficiency in solving problems.

5) This removes the incompleteness and inadequacy of Inductive method.


Demerits

1) The beginners find it very difficult to understand an abstract formulae, if they are not

acquainted with a number of concrete instances.

2) This method will demand blind memorization of a large number of formulae. And this

will cause an unnecessary and heavy burden on the brain of children.

3) In this method, memory becomes more important than understanding and intelligence and

that is educationally unsound.

4) Blind cramming leads very often to forgetting the formulae and the children are at a loss

to recollect. This ultimately leads to no learning.

5) This method is not suitable for development of thinking, reasoning and discovery.
Indetuctive method.
The inductive method of teaching means that the teacher presents the rule through situations and
sentences and does guided practice, then the learners do free practice. After that, the teacher
deduces or elicits the rule form from the learners themselves by themselves.
An inductive approach to teaching language starts with examples and asks learners to find
rules. It can be compared with a deductive approach that starts by giving learners rules, then
examples, then practice.

Advantages.
1) Rules learners discover for themselves (student-centered) how to use, when to use some
structures than rules they have been presented with. This makes the rules more
meaningful, memorable and acquired.
2) -Students participate in the learning process more actively, rather than being simply
passive listeners: therefore students are more attentive and more motivated.
3) -Students work things out for themselves and it prepares them for greater self-reliance
and autonomy.

Disadvantages
1) -Much time and energy are spent while working out rules with students.
2) -The time taken to work out a rule may be at the expense of time spent in putting the rule
to some sort of productive practice.
3) -It can demand teachers to work on planning a lesson. They need to select and organize
the data carefully so as to guide learners to an accurate formulation of the rule, while also
ensuring the data is intelligible.
4) -An inductive approach frustrates students who would prefer simply to be told the rule
