| Abstract | The effects of grammar teaching to children has been known little to English teachers and researchers in Taiwan even though our government has incorporated English education into primary school curriculum for years. The insufficient research findings revealed the necessity to explore Taiwanese elementary school students’ acquisition of English grammar. The researcher, along this line, aimed to investigate the effects of the grammar teaching approach on Taiwanese students’ acquisition of English grammar. Sixty-four students from Shingang Primary School were randomly selected and assigned to inductive and deductive approach groups. Both groups received a twelve-week treatment with inductive and deductive instructions respectively. The data collection instruments consisted of interviews evaluating students’ learning attitude toward the treatments, one pre-test and two post-tests examining students’ comprehension and retention of the acquired grammar. The research findings suggested that students in both approach were capable to comprehend and acquire the target grammar and that the students in the deductive approach group outperform those in the other group. In addition, the students in both inductive and deductive approach group possessed both positive and negative learning attitude toward English. |
