Abstract
Grammar is the link of vocabulary and sentences. With grammar, people can express themselves appropriately and understand each other in the class or in daily life. So when teachers teach English, connecting teaching with reality is necessarily in China. For grammar teaching, many students feel boring. If teacher didn’t pay attention to cultivate students’ interests, they will lose interests or confidence. Especially the students in some rural areas of our country, they don’t learn English in the primary school, but start to learning English in junior middle school. It is important to attract them to learn grammar with activities. Trough interviewing for the teacher in Chaungxing middle school and “The beginning” training school, it is discovered that the main method of grammar teaching used by most teachers is the deductive method, less of them use the inductive method, and the methods are separated from activities. So combining the deductive method and the inductive method with activities is interesting and can help improve other ability, such as spoken ability. And for the rural areas where grammar is taught by explanation in Chinese, it is important to combine activities with grammar teaching methods with the prerequisite of taking students students learning level. The thesis shows that the inductive method combing with activities is more helpful for students’ ability to apply and speak.
