Teaching grammar

How should grammar be taught? Although there is a strong emphasis on inductive grammar teaching, particularly in communicative language teaching approaches, both inductive and deductive strategies are required in the classroom given the many learning styles of students. The more similar the grammar structure is to the L1, the easier it is for students to grasp. Questions to consider in relation to the teaching of grammar include: Should the item be taught deductively (giving the rule and then getting learners to produce examples of target structure) or inductively (giving examples of the target structure and getting learners to generate the rule)? Is the explanation clear? Are there sufficient examples? Are teachers themselves sure of the rules? (Nunan, 1999) One way of teaching grammar to beginners is to use minimal grammar but to show patterns and help these students see that there are patterns, so that when they get to more intermediate and senior levels of learning they will be able to transfer the word ‘pattern’ to the label of a grammar concept.
