"Based on a study done by Shaffer (1989), there is no significant difference between inductive and deductive teaching approaches to grammar when used in high school second language classes.
Thomas' (1970) study to determine whether inductive or deductive teaching method is better able to help college freshman English students make progress in formal grammar and mechanics, in vocabulary and reading comprehension, and in composition.
Regarding the present study, a number of researches have been fulfilled by different people on the effectiveness of deductive and inductive teaching and the role of gender in foreign language learning.
Research Questions and hypotheses To see if there is any improvement in the learners' grammar performance after teaching them inductively and deductively, and to find out which group perform better considering their sex, this study addressed the following research questions: 1.
Procedure Although quite a few researches have been done on the relationship between gender and language learning, the role of inductive and deductive methods of teaching grammar for male and female students has not been addressed widely in the literature.
9 To reject the null hypothesis that there's no relationship between the performance of students who were taught grammar inductively and deductively and their gender, and to see which group, males or females, performed better a two-way ANOVA was applied.
According to Mohamed (2004) who said that there is no preference for one method over the other, and El-Banna (1985) who stated that both methods are used as the situation warrants, these null hypotheses were formed: 1) male students can't do better on the grammar test when they are taught inductively, and 2) female students do not perform better when they are taught grammar deductively."
