Inductive grammar teaching method' This is a method where you lead the student to the correct grammar rule rather than feeding them the information straight away You can help your students induce the grammar rule through giving them examples first and then discuss them to induce the rule.Deductive grammar' it starts by giving our students the rule first and then the students their own examples> It is less effective from my point of view as many people have a mechanical way of using English( when you tell them the rule they will try to stick to getting it by heart.So these students minimize using the rule but getting it by heart..'

In both cases, there are rues and examples. In deductive, rules come first. In inductive, examples come first.

I would prefer inductive.

inductive teaching is one in which  the rules are taught through examples while in deductive teaching rules are taught first and examples are given later. i will prefer inductive one.
