DEDUCTive APPROACH

• A deductive approach is when the rule is presented and the language is produced based on the rule. (The teacher gives the rule.)

INDUCTIVE APPROACH

An inductive approach is when the rule is inferred through some form of guided discovery. (The teacher gives the students a means to discover the rule for themselves.)

GRAMMARING

GRAMMARING - THE FIFTH SKILL

According to Corder (1973), “what to teach or learn can be described in linguistic terms as grammar […] or in psychological terms as language skills” (p. 137).

A Tentative Definition of “Grammaring

[G]rammaring is sometimes used to refer to the process by which language learners use grammar to create messages through grammaticalizing or adding grammar to a sequence of words to create finer meaning distinctions.
