 Both are important in a classroom setting, and both

contributes meaningfully in the learning of the learners.
 Both methods helped the students as well as the learners in
coming up and supporting their concepts.
 Both approaches use logic to prove the truth.

When teaching grammar, I think the inductive method is more

effective since, in my perspective, students learn more if they are
actively engaged in the lesson. It will also enable them to draw more
logical conclusions, which will improve their cognitive skills. Methods
that can be used also depend on the learners and the time available.
But, in terms of effectiveness, though it takes too much time in using
inductive method, as long as the teacher knows how to lead the
learners well, I believe that this method will be the best choice.
