Grammar Rules: Deductive Learning

The Mini Lecture is the most traditional grammar lesson in the course.

It may look simple, but it plays an important role.

In this lesson:

• The teacher explains the grammar points

• One by one

• In detail

• With extra examples and comments

It is like having a teacher read and explain a grammar book to you.

What This Lesson Is For

This lesson is a deep dive into grammar.

You will:

• Learn the rules clearly

• Understand why structures work

• See important exceptions

• Build accurate knowledge

By the end, you should have a strong understanding of the grammar system.

When Should You Do the Mini Lecture?

It is recommended to do this lesson:

At the end of the unit

After you have:

• Watched One-Minute Grammar

• Listened to the Daily Private Podcasts

• Done the quizzes

• Completed Excel in English activities

At that point:

• The grammar already feels familiar

• The rules are easier to understand

• The lesson is less boring

• Learning is faster

However, if you prefer:

• You can watch it first

• Some students like rules before practice

Both options are available.

Why This Lesson Is Easier Than Reading a Grammar Book

Reading grammar alone can be difficult because:

• It is slow

• Vocabulary is hard

• Pronunciation is unknown

• Students get tired

In the Mini Lecture:

• The teacher reads the grammar points aloud

• Guides you through the material

• Highlights important parts on screen

• Uses color and the mouse to show key words

• Adds extra explanations and examples

This means:

The teacher pulls you through the lesson
instead of you pushing yourself through a book.

A Big Benefit: Real Grammar Knowledge

Many fluent English speakers — even teachers — do not know formal grammar rules.

They speak well, but:

• They cannot explain why structures work

• They learned naturally, not analytically

In this lesson, you will:

• Learn the actual rules

• Understand the system

• Build technical grammar knowledge

This can make your grammar knowledge stronger than some native speakers and teachers.

Learning Style: Deductive Learning

The Mini Lecture uses deductive learning:

• Rules first

• Explanation first

• Then usage

This is also called:

Top-down learning

The opposite style is inductive learning:

• Examples first

• Rules discovered later

The course uses both:

• Mini Lecture → Deductive

• Excel in English → Inductive

This combination gives students:

• Understanding

• Accuracy

• And natural usage

Summary

The Mini Lecture:

• Is traditional

• Is detailed

• Explains grammar clearly

• Uses audio + visuals

• Builds strong rule knowledge

• Works best after practice

It is the final step that completes the grammar learning process.
