English Grammar - English Language Pedagogy

A method of teaching English grammar in which the language is taught not by rules but by usage is :


Options:

  1. Inductive method
  2. Incidental method
  3. Remedial method
  4. Descriptive method

Right Answer: Incidental method

In the incidental method grammar is not taught as a separate subject with a syllabus of rules. Learners meet the language in reading, conversation and composition, and the teacher explains a grammatical point only when a need for it arises out of actual usage or when an error has to be corrected. Grammar is thus absorbed through use rather than memorised in advance. The inductive method still ends in the statement of a rule, though it begins with examples; the remedial method is meant to remove specific errors; and the descriptive approach belongs to grammatical theory.
