Which method teaches concrete words with objects and grammar inductively?

AGrammar-translation
BThe direct method
CThe audio-lingual method
DThe lexical approach
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The direct method
1. The direct method teaches concrete vocabulary through demonstration, objects and pictures. 2. In the same method grammar is taught inductively, from examples. 3. Grammar-translation is deductive and works from word lists and rules. 4. The audio-lingual method teaches through memorised dialogues and gives no explicit grammar instruction. 5. The lexical approach centres on chunks and set phrases. 6. So the method with both features is the direct method. **Why the other options fail:** - Grammar-translation is deductive and uses bilingual word lists, not objects. - The audio-lingual method teaches through memorised dialogues and drills, with no explicit grammar. - The lexical approach teaches chunks and set phrases, not objects or inductive grammar. _Source: Wikipedia, "Direct method (education)", section "Principles" (revision 1368030046)_
