Q105

The deductive approach to teaching grammar says we should first ___________.

  1. (1) present rulesCorrect answer
  2. (2) provide practice in communication
  3. (3) provide practice through drills
  4. (4) present examples

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) present rules

  1. The deductive approach moves from rule to example.
  2. The teacher first states the grammar rule, then gives examples, and learners then apply it in practice.
  3. The inductive approach does the reverse: examples first, and learners work out the rule themselves.

Trap: option 4 (present examples first) describes the inductive approach.
