Focusing on Productive Skills to Teach Grammar Inductively

This is a short presentation for EFL and ESL teachers. In this video, Dr. Brian J. English explains how teachers can focus on productive language skills (speaking and writing) in the classroom to facilitate students' acquisition of grammatical structures. He contrasts the roles of grammar and pragmatics in developing communicative competence for second language learners and then explains how teachers can use an inductive approach to teaching grammar.
