investigate teachers’ perceptions and practices in regarding grammar teaching at Hanoi University of Industry (HAUI) The data for the study were collected through class observations and interviews with ten English teachers at the Faculty of English, HAUI The aim of the interviews was to gain insight into the factors which influenced teachers’ instructional decisions in teaching grammar, and in order to point out differences and similarities between their perceptions and their practices to English grammar teaching in the classroom The data were first analyzed qualitatively and then discussed to find out answers to the research questions The results of the study revealed that the teachers laid a great emphasis on grammar and grammar teaching with the belief that grammar teaching would help to develop the students’ linguistic skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing They were also in favour of teaching grammar deductively The reasons they gave for this pedagogical preference were the students’limited proficiency Basically, their classroom practices reflected their favour of a deductive approach to grammar iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Declaration i Acknowledgements ii

Practice – Production HAUI: Hanoi University of Industry vi Secondly, teachers had preferences of the use of the deductive approach to grammar teaching They pointed out the difficulties which in applying the inductive approach in presenting grammatical items to their students, from the limited time of each grammar lesson to their students’ knowledge grammar All made it difficult for them to use the inductive approach Thirdly, the results also indicated a convergence between teachers’ perceptions the ways of teaching grammar and what they did in the classroom However, there is one point where the divergence between teachers’ perceptions and practices was seen It is the issue of integrating grammar into the teaching of skills To be more specific, when asked about the ways of grammar teaching, most of the teachers said that they normally taught grammar inductively to their students through giving some examples or integrating grammar into reading texts, or listening texts But in practice, just few of them followed the inductive approach It is the case of the teachers who used the reading text and listening text to give grammatical items to their students Others did differently what they said They often went straightly to introduce what the grammatical item is going to learn Last but not least, from the results of the study, it can be inferred that teaching grammar deductively is preferred at HAUI because of their students’ ability 35 PART C: CONCLUSION Summary of the study The findings of the study showed that the teachers attached a great importance to grammar They thought that grammar teaching would help students to develop their linguistics skills including listening, speaking, reading, and writing These findings are not new On the contrary, these findings are similar to what has been found in other studies The teachers were also strongly in favors of teaching grammar deductively for the reason that the inductive approach was not appropriate to the students with limited proficiency Regarding the relationship between teachers’ perceptions and practice, convergence between the two was dominant, except for the case of integrating grammar into skill lessons where teachers’ perceptions differ from their actual practice The findings of the study indicated that teachers preferred a deductive approach to teaching grammar This may be because it is easier for them to teach grammar explicitly because of the students’ limited proficiency The conclusion can be made here is that while the literature of grammar teaching encourages teachers to teach grammar inductively or combined both approaches: deductive and inductive, in practice, teachers remain to be inclined towards the deductive approach According to what the teachers said in the interviews, this is because the students’ English was not good enough for the use of the inductive approach However, it seems that most of teachers were not familiar with this approach This is justified by the way they understood teaching inductively as presenting grammatical items through sentence-based examples then prompting the students to guess the rules This is in fact a simple understanding of the inductive approach to grammar teaching Another point that is worth making is that teachers’ practice is influenced by their own perceptions In this study, they perceive that teaching grammar deductively was more appropriate to their students and they did that in their classroom practices 36 The study has some implications First, despite the extensive literature on teaching grammar inductively, teachers still prefer teaching grammar deductively Thus, there is a tension between theory and practice In order to address this tension, teacher training should be given more attention to help teachers to get to know other options in teaching grammar Secondly, teaching grammar in the context where students’ proficiency in English is limited and teachers have to finish the predetermined textbook within an allocated time is best achieved deductively Limitations of the study Limitations are inherent in all studies involving classroom research The findings from the study many not be generalized to populations of all English teachers outside of the research setting The researcher only interviewed ten teachers because of limited time Additionally, the discussion of the thesis only focuses on some main points towards the three research questions while the oral reports of the teachers provided a lot of issues related to the teaching and learning grammar at university It is impossible to cover all the aspects emerging from the interview and class observation in the field of teaching grammar inductively Second, the result of the research is fruitful for only a specific context which is the learning and teaching foreign language at Hanoi University of Industry Last but not least, the study of teacher perceptions of grammar teaching would provide more information about the case if the researcher could investigate the teaching grammar at HAUI Suggestions for further study On the basis of findings and limitation of the study, the following recommendations are made for further research: First and foremost, the limitation of time, the participants of this study were ten English teachers from the English Faculty of HAUI so the results cannot apply for all teachers at the university It would be more detailed to conduct a similar study on the teachers from other departments or universities 37 Secondly, because of the minor study, the research only focuses on the teachers’ perceptions and practices to grammar teaching inductively at HAUI It will have more overall and insights of teaching grammar in regarding the inductive approach at many universities Thirdly, the study also carried out investigation teachers’ perceptions, but did not include students’ perceptions Therefore, it should be studied the teachers’ perceptions and students’ perceptions Fourthly, the study focuses on the perceptions and practices of teachers to grammar teaching inductively But in the fact, teaching grammar can combine the two approaches, inductively and deductively Therefore, it should be studied the effectiveness of the combination of these two approaches to grammar teaching Finally, the study showed the advantages of using the inductive approach to grammar teaching Therefore, it would be more useful if conducting a research about the advantages of using the inductive approach to grammar teaching 38 REFERENCES Andrews, S
