1. Teaching Language Inductively (B2 Level) Lecture Presentation – 90-Minute Lesson Framework

2. What Is Inductive Teaching? • Inductive teaching involves guiding students to discover rules and patterns through examples. • Learners analyze real language data before formal explanation. • Focuses on active engagement and hypothesis testing. • Encourages analytical and critical thinking skills.

3. Inductive vs Deductive Approach Inductive: • Students observe, identify patterns, and infer rules. • Teacher facilitates exploration. • Example → Rule. Deductive: • Teacher explains rules first. • Students practice afterward. • Rule → Example.

4. Theoretical Background • Based on constructivist learning theory (Piaget, Bruner). • Learners construct knowledge from experience. • Promotes learner autonomy and retention. • Compatible with Communicative Language Teaching (CLT).

5. 90-Minute Inductive Lesson Plan (B2) 1. Warm-up: Discuss context (10 mins) 2. Exposure: Analyze text/dialogue (15 mins) 3. Pattern Identification: Highlight structures (15 mins) 4. Rule Formation: Learners hypothesize (15 mins) 5. Controlled Practice: Apply patterns (15 mins) 6. Production: Free use and reflection (20 mins)

6. Sample Inductive Exercise Example sentences for discovering the rule: 1. If I had known, I would have told you. 2. If she had left earlier, she wouldn’t have missed the train. 3. If they had studied harder, they would have passed. ... → Learners deduce: Past unreal conditionals = 'If + had + past participle, would have + past participle'

7. Advantages of the Inductive Approach • Deep cognitive involvement and discovery. • Long-term retention of grammar. • Learner-centered and engaging. • Promotes critical thinking and autonomy.

8. Challenges and Teacher’s Role Challenges: • Time-consuming. • Difficult for lower levels. • Risk of incorrect generalization. Solutions: • Provide clear scaffolding. • Monitor and guide rule formation. • Use post-discovery feedback.

9. Conclusion The inductive method fosters learner independence and analytical thinking. When well-guided, it leads to deeper understanding and authentic language use. → Key principle: 'Students discover, teachers guide.'
