Deductive Teaching Method Overview

The document discusses the deductive approach to language teaching, which presents rules first before examples and practice. It is a teacher-centered approach compared to the inductive approach. The deductive approach may be suitable for lower-level or traditional learners who need clear rules to start with a new language item rather than finding the rules themselves.

Deductive Lessons (rule-driven).

A deductive approach to teaching language starts by giving learners rules, then examples, then practice. It is
a teacher-centred approach to presenting new content. This is compared with an inductive approach, which
starts with examples and asks learners to find rules, and hence is more learner-centred

Example:

The form and use of the third conditional is explained to learners, then they have a gap-fill exercise to
complete, then prepare their own examples

In the classroom

The deductive approach may be suitable with lower level learners who need a clear base from which to begin
with a new language item, or with learners who are accustomed to a more traditional approach and so who
lack the training to find rules themselves
