alleryIn the direct method, grammar is taught:
AInductively, by examples
BDeductively, rule first
CThrough translation
DOnly in written exercises
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Inductively, by examples
1. The direct method presents adequate forms of the target language in context.
2. Learners find out the rules from these examples.
3. This is the inductive approach.
4. Rule-first teaching is deductive, as in grammar-translation.
**Why not the others:** Rule-first teaching is deductive, and translation and writing-only tasks are not how the direct method teaches grammar.
