Deductive vs. inductive approach on English grammar teaching for elementary students

Abstract

This study presents results from a recent study that aimed to determine either inductive or deductive instruction for grammar teaching for students of refreshment classes at Istanbul Aydın University is more effective. The study was carried out at Istanbul Aydın University with two different classes, both of which have native speakers of twenty-five Turkish students with elementary proficiency in English, and both of which are in refreshment classes with no English background and some of whom are false beginners. One group is instructed by inductive approach (giving the text first, and then introducing the relevant rule), while the other is instructed by deductive (giving the rules first and then practicing on it). The purpose was to find out from which one of the two approaches students would benefit more. After the class, students are given tests and after a period of time they had their final exams. The results indicate that the class instructed by deductive approach is more successful than the other. The results of this study support using deductive instruction to teach grammar in the elementary level university foreign language classes. The research testing materials are appended
