Abstract

This article explores the inductive and deductive methods of teaching in English
Language Teaching (ELT). The inductive method, which emphasizes learning through
exposure and discovery, contrasts with the deductive method, which involves explicit
instruction and rule application. Through an examination of both methods, this article
highlights their respective advantages and challenges in the context of ELT, supported
by examples and previous research. The effectiveness of these methods is discussed in
relation to different learner types and teaching environments.
