Please analyze the following grammar teaching programs. What kinds of grammar teaching are reflected?

(1) A. Showing rules, B. Giving examples. C. Students practicing. D. Teachers’ evaluations. E. Consolidation and reinforcement.

(2) A. Leading in grammar points through situations. B. Discussion between teachers and students. C. Summarizing. D. Consolidation exercises. E. Comprehensive application.

Answer:

(1) The first example is the deductive method. With this method, the teacher first presents the rules and gives example sentences to illustrate it. Then, students practise related sentence patterns. Finally, there will be some exercises to consolidate the grammar point taught. These are consistent with the steps in the first example.

(2) The second example is the inductive method. With this method, grammar points are first presented but not explained. Then, they are elicited and concluded from the discussion between the teacher and students, which can be seen from example 2.
