  The present study attempts to compare the efficacy of the Deductive and inductive approaches in teaching Information Structure (IS) of non-canonical sentences and its effect on Iranian EFL learners’ reading comprehension in college. In this respect, 69 undergraduate Persian-speaking EFL learners (28 males and 41 females, mean age ≃ 21, age range=19-24, years of EFL learning ≃ 8, sophomore); majoring in English Literature and English Translation at the department of English Language and Literature, Arak University, Iran, were chosen in the form of two homogeneous intact groups, namely The Deductive (experimental) and Inductive (control) groups, consisting of 36 and 33 participants, respectively. Providing a six-week training course including twelve treatment sessions of The Deductive vs. Inductive instructions of IS principles, the results of statistical comparisons using paired-samples t-test and independent-samples t-test concerning the participants’ performance of each group indicated a significant improvement in reading comprehension. Concerning the pretest to the post-test phase, the momentum of progress has been sharper in the Deductive group. Regarding the post-test to the delayed post-test stage, deterioration of obtained reading comprehension abilities by EFL learners in the Deductive group has been statistically significant, whereas the findings indicate that the EFL learners of the Inductive group have shown statistically considerable retention of improved skill. پرونده مقاله

  This study investigates the effect of deductive versus inductive teaching of Information Structure (IS) of non-canonical sentences on Iranian EFL learners’ writing productions. To do so 69 participants majoring in English literature and English translation, fourth semester, Arak University, participated in this study in the form of two intact groups called Deductive (experimental) and Inductive (control) groups, comprising 36 and 33 participants in that order. Under the effect of twelve treatment sessions of deductive vs. inductive instructions of IS principles, six weeks, the statistical analyses of the results regarding the pretest-posttest phase disclosed significant improvement of the participants’ writing scores in both groups. Concerning the post-test results, no statistically significant difference was observed in the Deductive vs. Inductive groups’ writing scores. Regarding the posttest-delayed posttest results, the statistical analyses showed a significant decrease in the Deductive group’ writing scores while the writing scores reduction in the Inductive group was not significant. So, the findings revealed a significant retention of improved writing skills in association with the Inductive group. Possible explanations for the writing improvement and implications of the findings for language teaching have been discussed. پرونده مقاله
