To teach language structures and conventions (LSCs), educators often choose between inductive and deductive teaching approaches because some are more suitable to teaching certain LSCs than others.
2.1.1 In the context of teaching LSCs, how do educators determine when an inductive instead of a deductive teaching approach should be adopted?
2.1.2 Choose an approach from the study material to teach the past tense in your Grade-5 classroom and give a reason for your choice.
2.1.3 Explain step-by-step the process you would use to teach the past tense according to the approach you have chosen above by means of examples.
2.1.4 Follow the steps given in your study material to explain how you would use the deductive approach to teach subject-verb agreement.
Answer (2)
Educators choose between inductive and deductive approaches for teaching language structures based on familiarity and complexity. For teaching the past tense, the inductive approach encourages discovery through examples, while the deductive approach systematically teaches rules, as shown in subject-verb agreement. Both methodologies enhance understanding and application of language conventions. ;
Educators choose between inductive and deductive teaching methods for language structures based on familiarity and complexity. The inductive approach is recommended for teaching the past tense to encourage student discovery, while the deductive approach is effective for teaching subject-verb agreement by systematically explaining rules. A structured step-by-step process enhances both understanding of the past tense and subject-verb agreement.
